When compared to the domed rings, they look a lot more contemporary due to the flat surface and are great for those who are not accustomed to wearing jewelry. To make them special, you can have them crafted in space-age materials like tungsten, cobalt or titanium. These materials have such a sophisticated look that he would be more than happy about wearing the ring.
Rings with Two-Toned Patterns
You can take the style factor up a notch or two by choosing rings with two-tone patterns. During the manufacturing process, two different metals are woven together so as to yield a distinctive pattern. Usually, the resultant effect is quite subtle, but it can certainly catch the eye of people with a certain amount of discernment. Usually, these rings are custom-crafted depending upon the metal you choose so you will need to allow more than the usual time for delivery by the jeweler.
Rings with Gemstones
There is an increasing tribe of men who are not shy of wearing a flashy wedding ring featuring a precious stone, even a diamond. You can have a really wide choice because you can select from rubies, sapphires, and much more. You just need to make sure that the design is such that the gemstone is mounted securely on the ring as men are notas careful as ladies when using their hands.
Whatever ring you choose, you need to make sure that it gels with the personality and lifestyle of your man. He will always be thankful for the time and effort that you took to make him look and feel good.
