Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?

[Feraud]

A small and lightweight Navajo tourist ring in cigar band form, c.1920s. One of my favorites.

I understand why you favor that ring. I've always enjoyed the look of these and hope to acquire one myself eventually.

Mmmm I generally don't but I think the best looking ones are probably Papal rings.

The current pope's ring is a nice piece - as I recall, it's in silver because he wanted something less costly, more humble.

Discovered today that Rumble 59 have stopped making the stainless TCB Elvis ring, and no loner have sotck in my size. Bummer, as I'd planned on using one of those as a wedding ring. Got to decide between several alternatives now (as I'm donig it on the cheap, I'm almost tempted to see if I can get away with more than one ring!).

That is quite fun. Overall design is quite like my repop souvenir rings.

Any ring is a very personal decision. I bought this ring when I visited Malta. A Maltese cross. Not only is it a reminder of that trip, but it also captures my love of history and my misplaced streak of romanticism. Usually I reserve it for when I'm really dressing up (as in formal wear). I've only received one comment and that, strangely enough, was "do you belong to a secret society?" (Um, no.)

This is what I'd call thinking large. Bless you.

This ring has quite the story and I met the artist, (had him make me a pendant). It's a Zuni Knifewinged warrior.

Nice; it's like a much classier version of a souvenir ring. Lovely work.

A ring should weight at least 4 ounces and be so large that you can't get your hands into your pockets!

I don't wear rings. Don't like the fussiness of them.

I know a lot of guys feel that way; me, I like a bit of fussiness. It's interesting that, for a lot of men, there are cultural norms that dictate you shouldn't wear jewellery just because it's cool / fun / you like it, but It Should Have a Meaning, like a wedding ring, which also seems to work on the assumption that a man will wear the same rings all the time. I have a couple that are worn almost daily (and one which was a 40th present from my other half, which I do wear absolutely daily), but I also have several more which are worn on a whim, or occasionally, or depending on where I'm going or what else I'm wearing. In that regard, I treat them like cufflinks or watches.

Skulls and Indians and Harleys - more ring insanity and ostentation -

Ancestry.com says I'm 35% Irish. Well I've always known I look like my Irish grandmother's side of the family!

I wear a Claddagh ring as my wedding ring, my wife has one too, mine silver, hers gold. Nothing fancy, just the ordinary traditional made-in-Ireland Claddagh.

My lady had a Claddagh set; her engagement ring is the crown, and the hands/heart part is a separate piece which will be her wedding ring in due course. Both in silver as she does not like and won't wear gold; the stones in the crown are rubies and sapphires (our birthstones) as we're not fans of the diamond trade. I considered one for myself as I'm the Irish in the relationship, but instead I'm opting for a wedding ring based around the Elvis TCB lightning flash. Had my eye on a stainless steel design but that went out of production, so I'll probably end up going silver too.

Very nice.
