Men's Wedding Bands: tungsten carbide or stainless steel?
You will mostly be choosing between two metals. Tungsten carbide is dense and has real weight on the hand. Stainless steel offers more colors and, on some bands, a choice of widths. Titanium steel appears on several bands too. Pick the metal, then the width, then confirm your US size, because the range changes from band to band.
| Band | Material | Width | Surface | US sizes |
| Domed Steel Band | Stainless steel | 4, 6 or 8mm | Polished dome | 6 to 13 |
| Matte Beveled Band | Stainless steel | 4 or 6mm | Brushed face, polished bevel | 6 to 13 |
| 8mm Matte Tungsten | Tungsten carbide | 8mm | Matte center, polished bevels | 7, 8, 10, 11 or 12 |
| Black Dual Groove | Tungsten carbide | 8mm | Brushed black, two polished grooves | 4, 6 to 15 |
| Rose Gold-Tone Wood Inlay | Tungsten carbide, wood | 8mm | Rose gold-tone bevels | 5 to 14.5, half sizes |
| Crushed Opal Tungsten | Tungsten carbide, opal | Not listed | Hammered black | 6 to 17, no US 14 |
| Black Rune Ring | Stainless steel | 8mm | Black, engraved runes | 7 to 12 |
| Titanium CZ Band | Titanium steel, cubic zirconia | Not listed | Channel-set row of stones | 6 to 13 |
Men's wedding rings, slim to wide
Width changes how a ring feels more than color does. The Matte Beveled Band starts at 4mm. The Domed Steel Band goes from 4 to 8mm and curves at the edges, so it does not dig in. The Geometric Cut-Out Ring is 6mm wide and 2mm thick. For a broad band, the 8mm Matte Tungsten sits flat and solid, with low glare from its brushed center.
Men's black wedding bands and dark finishes
Dark bands split into brushed and polished. The Black Dual Groove is brushed between two polished grooves. The Black Faceted Tungsten Ring is 8mm, polished black and cut into geometric facets, in US 8, 9, 10 and 12. The Black Rune Ring looks solid black from a distance, and its engraved letters show bright steel up close.
Male wedding rings with an inlay
An inlay makes the ring harder to mistake for another. The Crushed Opal Tungsten flashes blue, green and orange under a clear cover. The Wood and Meteorite-Look Ring is an 8mm domed band, and the meteorite part is a look, not meteorite. The Oak Wood Tungsten Ring hides its wood on the inside as a sleeve, a private detail in US 6 to 10 and 11.5 to 15.
Buying men's wedding bands online: check the size first
You cannot try a ring on through a screen, so read the listed sizes before anything else. The Crushed Opal Tungsten runs up to US 17. The Black Dual Groove comes in US 4 and in whole sizes from 6 to 15. The Rose Gold-Tone Wood Inlay offers half sizes from US 5 to 14.5. The 8mm Matte Tungsten has no US 9. Measure with the size guide, then match the number to the band.
