how to choose a ring for a man

#

Consider his line of work. This will determine if he can even wear a ring most of the time. If he works with his hands, you'll have to be especially careful. The piece you decide on should have a low profile. Gemstones and diamonds won't hold up as well as a plain metal band. Some careers prohibit men from wearing wedding rings at work for safety purposes. If this is the case, give him a nice chain. This way he can wear the ring on a necklace when he can't wear it on his finger.
#
Step 2

Go for comfort. If the band is uncomfortable, he may never wear it. A wider ring may be more uncomfortable. Look for a ring with a comfort-fit band. These rings are designed to not pinch the finger. Then he won't have an excuse not to wear it.

Step 3

Make the man's ring match yours. Many couples take wedding photos holding hands, with a closeup of the rings. Your wedding bands should coordinate with each other. Some jewelers include the men's band in the wedding set. If this isn't the case, you might be confused with how to translate your feminine ring into a man's ring. The rings don't have to match exactly. Choose the same metal and color of gemstone. Also stick with the same style. If you have a vintage-inspired engagement ring, look for a men's ring that is engraved or has Celtic styling.

Step 4

Branch out in your choice of metals. The traditional metal for men's rings is gold. This can be expensive and might not hold up well if your man is tough on his jewelry. Titanium is the strongest metal on earth. It's also cheaper than gold. Choose this for a men's ring if your guy loves to be on the cutting edge.
#
Step 5

Use two tones. You may want white gold and he wants yellow gold. Strike up a compromise and buy a ring with a pattern that incorporates both. This adds character to an otherwise plain wedding band. This will also match any other jewelry that he'll buy in the future. The inside of the ring might even be a different color from the outside. Consider different colors of titanium if your man is daring. You could have black or even blue metal accents for an eye-catching piece.

Step 6

Add a little flair. Diamonds aren't just for women. Adding a gem can really personalize the ring. Look for stones that are bezel-set. This way the gems won't catch on clothing and the ring will appear more masculine. Men's rings usually have smaller accent stones that cost less money. If your engagement ring has an accent gem such as an emerald, carry this over to his ring.

how to choose a engage ring

1. Next time you're in the mall, take her by some jewelry stores and just browse the engagement ring section. Tell her to feel free to try a few on, and see which ones she really likes. If you feel uncomfortable or want the ring to be more of a surprise, then have a close friend of hers go with her just for fun.
2. Pay close attention to the jewelry she wears everyday. Try to familiarize yourself with the metals and styles she likes and maybe even those she doesn't.
3. Once you've figured all that out, go shopping on your own. Figure out what the best diamond (or precious gem) is for your budget and pick out a few rings. Tell the jeweler to hold them for you. Most places will hold them for up to a week. Or explain to the jeweler what you plan to do, which will come in the next few steps. Many of them will be willing to help play along, not only is it fun, but its part of their job when it comes to "The Ring".
4. Schedule an appointment with that jeweler to clean or repair a watch or something of yours. Walk-ins are welcome in a lot of cases. Make sure she comes along. Casually browse over the selection of engagement rings, and get her to randomly try on the ones you picked out for her and judge her reaction. If she shows a strong preference for one ring, then you know which one to get.
5. Don't let her talk you down in price. If she is really the one, then she'll appreciate the fact you worked so hard to get the ring.
