Go Beyond the Traditional with a Two Tone Men’s Wedding Ring

Some men don’t want to muss or fuss with choosing a wedding band ring and will go for the customary plain gold band but what if you like a bit of pomp and circumstance? After all, your band is a symbol of love and commitment but nowhere does it say in wedding etiquette that it could not be a reflection of your unusual sense of style and fun. Choosing a two tone men’s wedding ring could garner you an unusual band that is still perfectly representative of your commitment to your loved one.

Your Metal Options

A two tone men’s wedding ring usually incorporates two types of gold, at least when you visit traditional chain jewelry stores. A basic yellow gold is used in addition to either a rose gold (a reddish hue) or a white gold or even any combination of the three different colors. This two tone men’s wedding ring could be incorporated into a simple smooth band, or even a contoured one with distinct ridges, one for each tone. The edges could be slightly scalloped or have some detailing such as a rope design, notched or even braided design.

Gold is only one of several different types of metal to choose from when it comes to a two tone men’s wedding ring. You might find a titanium band with a yellow or rose gold inlay or a stainless steel ring with gold inlay. The band may even be a traditional gold band only with a titanium, white gold or platinum inlaid design. It’s all a matter of personal taste and style when it comes to choosing your two tone men’s wedding ring.

Unusual Choices

With better technology and interesting material availability, you could find unusual two tone men’s wedding rings that are quite different from the more traditional two tone gold choices. For instance, there is a Japanese technique called mokume gane which involves fusing several different metal sheets together which are then forged and fashioned to create two or more toned appearances.

Another option is choosing a wood and metal band which are crafted together to create a two tone men’s wedding ring. Wood comes in a variety of colors and there are many exotic woods like ebony, mahogany, zebra wood, pink ivory, tulipwood and more. The variances and colors in the wood grains paired with a metal such as gold, titanium, silver or platinum would make for an interesting two tone men’s wedding ring. For sure, the wood adds depth and character to what would otherwise be just an interesting ring of metal.

For many men who are seeking a wedding band beyond the traditional ring of gold, a two tone men’s wedding ring could be the answer. Of course, two tone can hold limitless possibilities so shop around and look for the unusual because you will know when you find the right choice for you.

One word of caution, before you purchase your special ring,it should be somthing worn with pride for a lifetime so make sure it will be comfortable to wear.Also, if your man likes to work with his hands,be sure that the wedding band ring will be hard wearing.
