Wedding Bands Buying Guide: How To Pick The Right Fit And Style

A wedding band serves as more than an accessory—it is a daily reminder of love and devotion. As wedding ring styles naturally shift with the times, we find couples frequently asking how to achieve a wedding band look that’s uniquely reflective of a couple’s relationship. Whether looking for individual wedding bands or matching couples' wedding bands, Alter’s Gem Jewelry has a selection of popular and timeless ring designs for you. 
 

What are the most popular wedding band styles for men in 2025?

 

In 2025, wedding bands for men will emphasize individuality and modern refinement. Classic gold bands remain a popular choice, but many grooms will be wearing refined versions of classic bands that incorporate brushed finishes, beveled edges, or two-tone metals. When choosing the right fit and wedding ring style for men, it’s important to consider what kind of wear and tear to expect from everyday life. 

For the gentlemen who want to be a little bolder, diamond wedding bands provide subtle shine in bezel or channel set rings. Whether his preferred style is minimalistic or fashion-forward, our in-house collection of Super Man-Made diamond wedding rings features an array of designs and materials he's sure to love for daily wear.
 

Matching Wedding Bands for Couples’

 

Lately, couples visiting our showroom have decided to wear matching wedding bands to symbolize unity. When couples come to Alter's Gem Jewelry in Beaumont, Texas, they will see a wide variety of wedding bands that coordinate in styles and metals. Couples often incorporate subtle elements, such as matching metals or engravings of meaningful phrases, to craft the perfect wedding ring set.



One metal that continues to dominate the wedding band market for men due to its exceptional durability and contemporary design is platinum. And with the rise of gold prices, platinum is just as attainable as gold. If you’re a couple who have differing preferences when it comes to metal choices, you can personalize individual wedding bands with matching engravings on the inside or outside of your rings. Popular engravings include couples’ initials, a memorable date, or a sentimental quote or graphic to make their rings even more special.
 

Prices of Gold Wedding Bands

 

One of the most frequent questions couples ask is, "How much does a gold wedding band cost?" The cost for gold rings varies based on factors like karat, weight, and design. Gold wedding bands on average cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars for a plain band to thousands for a more advanced design that may include diamonds.

14K gold wedding bands are popular for their durability and affordability, while 18K gold wedding bands will provide a richer yellow color and a higher purity for a slightly higher price. Couples can choose from designer styles or craft a unique custom-designed wedding band at Alter's Gem Jewelry to fit their lifestyle, budget, and quality standards. 
 

Alternative Metal Wedding Bands for Men

 

Alternative metal wedding bands are a wonderful choice for men in 2025 who want something that will last, is comfortable, and can be worn for years to come. These bands are strong and have a modern, stylish look.

Tungsten wedding bands are very popular because they are heavy and highly scratch-resistant, making them a suitable metal for men who work with their hands. Titanium bands are a great choice for people who are active because they are lightweight and durable. A cobalt wedding band, on the other hand, is a more affordable option that shines like platinum. You can find various tungsten, titanium, and cobalt wedding bands at our fine jewelry showroom. Here, you can choose from sleek polished styles or bold brushed textures. Each wedding band is made to look modern and last a lifetime.
