Wedding bands might seem simple in design most men care quite a bit about the types they’d like to wear for a lifetime. Everything from the materials to the shape to the finish play a part in the overall look and feel of a ring. Some guys prefer a sporty black titanium band while others appreciate a polished gold look. There’s rounded or rugged square edges to consider as well as hammered or inlay styles. Diamonds can be part of the design, too—in a subtle or bold ways—depending on his aesthetic. For a sentimental touch, couples might shop for coordinating bands that share similar features or have personalized engravings. The look can be unique as you want, which is great but can often lead to indecision.

If you don’t have days to spend going around to different shops, you can absolutely find high-quality, handsome men’s wedding bands online. Granted, the downside is you can’t try them on in person. But many jewelry designers offer free shipping and no-fuss returns. To narrow your options, focus on the materials first: If he’s got sensitive skin, pure metals—gold, platinum, silver—and hypoallergenic titanium are best (stay away from nickel). Then consider the width: The most popular size is between five and six millimeters. Go for three to four millimeters if he prefers a slim, minimalist look; seven to nine millimeters if he wants to make a statement.
To figure out his ring size, you can consult handy guides or purchase a ring sizer, which is actually quite useful for purchasing women’s rings or gifts. The ideal ring shouldn’t slide around too easily on his finger but be big enough to slip comfortably over the knuckle. Once you decide on the more technical aspects, consider the stylistic details; whatever band he chooses, it should communicate his personal sense of style. Ahead, we rounded up seven of the best men’s wedding bands that appeal to different tastes, wear comfortably and will stand the test of time.
