Understand the Best Metal for Men’s Wedding Band

Metal is metal, right? It is shiny and should be durable. Unfortunately, not all metals in jewelry are the same. While the popular metals throughout history such as brass, silver, gold and platinum, are valued for their rarity and luster, their ability to be malleable is one that makes them special in jewelry. The technical properties of each metal varies. We discuss it in detail in our education section, but we will also provide a brief overview here and explain why each is the best metal for men's wedding band.

They include: 14k White Gold, 18k White Gold, 14k Rose Gold, 18k Rose Gold, 14k Yellow Gold, 18k Yellow Gold, Platinum, and Palladium. There are 6 kinds of gold to choose from.

What are your thoughts on titanium wedding bands for men?

We do not recommend titanium wedding bands for men because it is a safety concern. Titanium is not a precious metal commonly used in jewelry because it is difficult to work with and an excellent conductor of heat. In the event of an emergency such as finger swelling, removing titanium mens wedding bands with saws or drills would be impossible without further injuring the finger. We strongly suggest you consider another metal.
