Ring Must
The Evolution of Men’s Designer Rings
Did you know that if you went back 125 years, you would have a hard time finding any many wearing a wedding band? In fact, it was even uncommon back then to find a woman wearing a special ring to signify her marital status. It wasn’t until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution that the wedding ring started to become fashionable, and even then they were nothing but plain gold or silver bands. So you can imagine how much longer it took for men’s designer rings to be introduced, but today they are one of the fastest growth areas in the jewelry industry.
Men’s designer rings arose out of a man’s desire to show his social status, affiliate himself with a “clan”, or be recognized as having earned a certain badge, or honor. For many decades, men’s rings were treasured not because of their inherent beauty, but rather because they recognized a man’s achievement in life. Even today, evidence of this heritage lives on in the form of Super Bowl rings, college rings, Masonic rings and rings that bear the symbols of the U.S. Armed Forces. However, the men’s designer rings that are available today are not tied to any organization. Most are worn to do more than celebrate their marriage; they can also reflect a man’s personal taste or his station in life.
Ever since the end of World War II when economic policies promoted the growth of the American middle class, rings became more popular among men. And since then they have transitioned from a simple gold band to much more elaborate designs. And because men can be so much harder on rings than women, men’s designer rings are now available in durable metals like platinum, titanium, palladium, tungsten and stainless steel.
Looking at today’s collections of men’s designer rings, it is possible to purchase rings in every imaginable size and shape. The most popular styles have a beveled edge, engraved face, hand-woven texture, sandblasted finish or decorative milgrain edge, but there are dozens of other designs to choose from. Men’s designer rings are also made to be more comfortable than ever before. Some of the top designers offer a “Comfort Fit” style that has a curved inside edge. This helps the ring feel more natural on the finger so its comfortable enough to wear all day long.
Another thing that has changed over the years is the way men shop for rings. It used to be that if you wanted to buy a ring, you went to your local jeweler, but today’s men find that the selection of <a href=”http://www.justmensrings.com/jmr.asp?page=View-Benchmark-Ring-Collection”>men’s designer rings</a> on the Internet is much better, and so are the prices. Web sites that specialize in men’s rings enable customers to shop by metal, price, designer and style, so you can quickly zero in on the perfect ring.

Joyce Chen Pro-Chef 14-Inch Round Bottom Wok with Wood Handles $24.99 This is the shape and material of the traditional round bottom wok, used for generations, and with great success we might add. Yes, you do have to season it or it will rust. However, over time it will become virtually non-stick and in fact age and use will improve this piece, much like your grandmother’s cast iron skillet. Carbon steel is an excellent choice for high heat cooking, and the wood han… |

Is Dead $5.66 De La Soul burned out on their own hype fast, and their dark, strange second album is a counter-blast to their image and hip-hop culture: perverse, dissatisfied, sometimes brilliant, sometimes out of control. Occasionally it seems mean-spirited–the single “Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)” finds them grousing about getting deluged by demo tapes, and “Kicked Out The House” is a nasty (if very funny) pa… |
