Does he want a classic band or a modern band?
First, pick your metal & metal color
First, pick your metal & metal color
For a classic band, consider a precious metal which includes:
Yellow or White gold in 14 karat or 18 karat. 14 karat gold is approximately 58.5% gold. 18 karat gold is 75% gold. The balance of metal is called “alloy”. Remember the natural color of gold is yellow so if he chooses white gold, the white will come from the alloy and it will also be rhodium plated.
Platinum, which is a naturally white metal and is 95% platinum.
Wedding Bands for Him
For a modern band, you might consider an “alternative” metal choice. These newer, modern metals are often more scratch resistant than precious gold. The list of modern metals includes the following options:
Tungsten Carbide – a heavy dark grey metal
Titanium – a lightweight, medium grey metal
Stainless steel – a medium weight, bright white metal
Lastly, pick your finish.
