5 Alternate Men’s Wedding Ring Styles

Searching for something new for your man?  We have uncovered 5 Alternate Men’s Wedding Ring Styles These rings are modern and unique.  Which one would you choose?  

Choosing a modern wedding ring can be a difficult task. Where can you go to see a large range of styles? How much do you have to spend? Do you want something made locally or an imported ring? What metal should the ring be made from? Are you a traditionalist or do you want something a little more modern? What will your bride allow you to wear? There are no easy answers but we hope that this small selection of rings, all handmade in Australia by local jewellers, designers and artisans, will give you a bit of confidence when purchasing your wedding ring.

The owner of men’s jewellery store Lord Coconut says “Modern grooms increasingly want a wedding ring which is made locally. They want a ring which reflects their individuality. Something bespoke. Gone are the days when a groom is happy with the standard yellow gold wedding band from the high street”.  Boldiston goes on to say “Although gold is still the norm, many rings are purchased in white or rose gold. There is also a growing trend towards sterling silver wedding rings. This is often the case when someone is on a budget but wants a ring which is handmade in Australia”.

1. The Pirate wedding ring by Dat Van is hand carved in wax before being cast in sterling silver -$390

2. The String ring by a.l.i.Alexander is formed from one piece of string dipped in wax and curled around the jewellers finger before being cast in 9ct white gold – $1045

3. The Plain Twist ring by Petr Hanzak combines two twisted 9ct yellow gold bands symbolising the joining of two individuals as one and surrounds them in silver symbolising the support of family and friends – $640

4. The Flange ring by David Parker begins with a traditional band of 9ct white gold and then surrounds it with titanium symbolising the modernity of everyday life – $970

5. The Square ring by a.l.i.Alexander is a new take on the traditional wedding band. Sculpted in wax before casting in 9ct gold, there’s nothing square about this groom – $880

For me jewellery is a creative outlet, designing and making hand made jewellery enables my expression as a craftsman; provides a fulfilling challenge of constructing and bringing a jewellery piece to life. I aim to design unique and novel concepts while being firmly grounded in the contemporary art and jewellery world with images that are instantly recognisable. I am a believer in simple stylish designs that are not over worked and busy. I am constantly thinking of new ideas and images of interesting objects and things that I would like to create.

This current nautical themed range grew from one concept piece and has been refined to the current range. This being my first range for the contemporary jewellery market gave me freedom to make something interesting and original to me, with strong colour that comes from the anodising of titanium. Even though this is my first series, it strongly represents my design and manufacturing style, and my enjoyment of creating pieces with good durability. Titanium presents many challenges in construction to maintain the ability to repair the pieces, but I feel it is worth it as the titanium enables the use of strong colours which gives me joy.
