If you’re wondering how to choose a wedding band, you’ve come to the right place! Selecting the perfect wedding band for you is easier if you keep in mind four key elements: design, lifestyle, comfort, and quality…
1.) Groom – you’ll be wearing this ring forever… so you will want to LOVE its design. The bride gets all the attention when it comes to the engagement ring, but who says you can’t have a ring worth talking about, too? There are so many wonderful wedding band options for men – particular handmade wedding bands – in a variety of colors, styles, and textures you may not have even considered. Do your homework and take plenty of time to look for the perfect wedding band – and ask your bride-to-be for her input. Whether it be a no-frills band or a fancier wedding band with diamonds – the choice is yours! Find one you’ll be happy to wear every day.
2.) When selecting the design, keep in mind your lifestyle. Do you work with machinery? Make sure the ring you select won’t get caught on anything and/or interfere in your daily work.
3.) The proper fit and comfort of your wedding band is important, too. If the ring is too tight, you’ll be uncomfortable. If the ring is too loose, you’ll always worry about losing it. Find one that fits you just right. Go to a local jewelry store to be sized, in case you plan on ordering on line. This will ensure the ring will fit perfectly upon arrival.
4.) And, last – but certainly not least – is quality. After you are pronounced husband and wife that ring will be on your finger forever. Make sure it is a high quality ring designed to sustain daily wear and tear. Don’t skimp on quality – you’ll want the original to last forever.
Now that you know how to choose a wedding band, consider choosing a handmade wedding band! One of our favorite handmade jewelers – Spexton – is based right in the USA in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Each ring is handmade fresh daily in their factory by machinists Greg Shelton & Nate McPherson (below):
With each ring being hand-fabricated one at a time, you can be assured your wedding band will be of the highest possible quality. Unlike most jewelers, Spexton makes each ring with manual tools and two hands – a rare find! With plenty of styles to choose from, you’re bound to find the perfect band for you.

Love the designs! They’re all very stylish, but manly. Some people considered tattoing rings instead of buying one, which to me is a strong (if extreme) way of going about it!
One of the biggest things about choosing your wedding band is what that band says about you. For guys it’s all about the cool factor or even ruggedness. You have to love the look and feel. And by the look of these contemporary rings, that custom handmade factor is cool, rugged, and catches the eyes of passerby’s with “yeah that’s my wedding ring” Choosing that band is one of funniest things guys get to have a say in regarding wedding planning and it’s awesome to have great bands to choose from.
Wow, these bands are gorgeous, the photography is especially amazing! The second band is my favorite, can’t go wrong with homemade :)
