In a previous article, we offered you a complete guide to help you choose your wedding ring and addressed common questions as a wedding approaches: what finger should you wear your wedding ring on? Should it match your engagement ring? Is it really a good idea to get married? Oh no, sorry, we can’t help you with that last question! However, we’re going to delve deeper into the subject from a new angle, that of the latest trends in men’s wedding rings. We visited Zeina: a wedding jewelry house specializing in wedding rings for men and women, as well as some of the big jewelry houses like Cartier, Chaumet, and Van Cleef & Arpels. Whether you’re a groom-to-be looking for simplicity or modernity, or simply interested in the different options available, this article should interest you!
1.Ring width: from discreet to more assertive
Choosing the width of the ring is often the starting point for reflection. For men who prefer a discreet style, or who have thinner hands, a width between 2.5 mm and 3 mm is ideal. This corresponds to the width of a traditional wedding ring. For those who want a little more presence or who are used to wearing jewelry, we recommend widths around 4 mm.
2.Ring shape: from classic to more contemporary
Before starting your research, we tend to think that all wedding rings are the same, but that’s a mistake! When we look more closely, we can distinguish different ring shapes. These allow us to adapt to our personal preferences:
Half-ring: This semi-curved ribbon gives a continuous effect and perfectly fits the shape of the finger. It is a classic choice that remains comfortable.
Flat Ribbon: With its flat surface, it reflects a lot of light and offers a more modern look, especially when polished.
Beveled ribbon: For a more contemporary style, this shape brings interesting plays of light thanks to its angular finishes.
For comfort, many men prefer a domed ring interior, especially those who don’t typically wear jewelry.
3. Ring Finish: From Traditional to Modern
Finishes add personality to your wedding ring. Here are some popular options:
Hammered, frosted, sandblasted: These finishes provide texture and a rustic look.
Polished and Brushed: More traditional finishes, ideal for men looking for a classic style.
Finishing games: Combinations of polished and matte, offering a subtle and modern contrast.
Two-tone, three-tone: Combinations of white gold, pink gold, or others, popularized by Cartier.

4.Materials: the essentials and current trends
Yellow gold and platinum remain the most popular. Yellow gold is traditional and warm. Platinum is robust and requires less maintenance than white gold. It is important to know that a white gold wedding ring is less expensive, but that you will need to consider rhodium plating every 5 years to maintain its shine. Rose gold is gaining popularity thanks to its coppery hue and warmth, especially for light skin tones. Which is my case. Trying on a rose gold wedding ring at Zeina really convinced me of this choice of material!
