Rings can be a problem for many men, given that marriage requires you to wear one, and only one ring on the same finger, every day. This means you’ll be bound to one metal the moment you say “I do,” unless you don’t mind mixing and matching, which is probably advisable if you ever want to diversify again.
One way round the ‘clash’ problem in terms of wedding bands is to go for a tricolour option. Never the most attractive pieces, tricolour rings do offer you guaranteed coordination for the rest of your married life.
If you’re single and have no sentimental rings that you refuse to remove then you are on to a winner. Signet rings are coming back into fashion and come in all shapes and sizes. I managed to pick-up a Maltese cross design in rose gold for five English on eBay the other day. If you are prepared to wait, the world’s best-known bidding site will throw a few gems your way.
I’ve always been a fan of claddagh rings, and Celtic knot work – especially if you possess a shred of Gaelic heritage – is beautiful and can catch the eye much easier than a simple D-band.
That said, D-Bands are not a bad option. When I wear silver I go for a plan, unfussy D band that I picked up on a market in Frankfurt for a few quid. These things don’t have to be expensive to be cool – interest is the key. Go for vintage so your ring will stand out. Wearing one you intend to pale into the background is a waste of time so be bold!
