My Wedding Bands

Men’s diamond wedding bands are actually a recent concept; up until the 1950s, the majority of wedding couples in the Western world wore plain gold or silver bands (in some cases, bronze or even brass). DeBeer’s diamond company was largely the driving force behind the adoption of diamond wedding bands and diamond engagement rings. The idea of men’s diamond wedding bands was part of a marketing campaign that turned out to be one of the most successful in history.

In the Beginning

It is highly uncustomary for men to wear any piece of jewelry other than a watch. And many women tend to regard jewelry on amen as a sign of bad taste. Come your wedding day, you will probably be wearing the same watch, to which you can add a wedding band, and maybe a pair of cufflinks, these being all the jewelry you’ll ever own.

Style of Engagement Rings

A man wearing a wedding ring is a rather new phenomenon. But as more men choose to show their love and commitment by wearing a ring, the choice has become more varied, so as to meet all tastes and financial possibilities. When we think of men’s wedding bands, most of us think of plain gold. But how many of you out there know that you have such a varied choice of men’s wedding bands that it is impossible not to find at least one model that will be perfect for you.
