Gold

White gold wedding bands for men, as well as their yellow counterparts, are traditional picks, and they’re earned their classic status for good reason. Gold is an excellent all-around metal and can adapt to nearly any style, from timeless plain bands to those with unique Celtic or braided motifs.  The 14K White Gold Hammered Wedding Band Ring gives a 14K white gold style an added benefit: like all hammered wedding bands, it’s able to hide any dents and dings it incurs over the years. This rugged yet refined ring has a stylish pounded surface that stands out against the smooth, polished edges that frame it. Available in 4mm, 8mm or any other width you choose, this is a versatile band for nearly any guy.

If you’d rather a wedding band with a look that’s a little different, consider one of Apples of Gold’s rose gold wedding bands for men. These rings utilize a variety of gold that displays a warm, soft glow, a subtle variation on tradition. The Wide Square Wedding Band in 14K Rose Gold contrasts the soft hue of rose gold with a strong, bold design. This 8mm-wide band is given a squared off-look that sets it apart from other plain wedding rings. A highly-polished finish accentuates the unique form of this ring and draws attention to its color.

Silver

Silver is a top pick for budget-conscious guys, but its cool good looks make it a stylish one as well. While some shy away from silver because it tends to tarnish, silver wedding bands aren’t hard to clean and remain a solid pick for those trying to pinch pennies.

Platinum

Known as the most precious of metals used in wedding jewelry, platinum has a cool white luster that’s similar to that of white gold. Platinum wedding bands for men are luxurious picks, as well as good choices for those with metal sensitivities: as a pure metal, platinum is naturally hypoallergenic. The 6mm Knife Edge Platinum Wedding Band displays this shining metal with strong style. This sleek ring has a beveled, angled look that gives it a modern yet timeless sensibility.

Titanium

Titanium is known for its strength—and it is exceptionally strong—but there’s far more to this metal than brawn. Like platinum, titanium is naturally hypoallergenic; it’s also non-corrosive, which means that it won’t rust or tarnish. However, unlike platinum, it’s a relatively affordable pick. This sleek, modern metal has a cool grey look that’s understated and contemporary.

The metal you choose can make a big difference in the appearance and the performance of your wedding band. Use this guide to choose one that’s right for you.

Updated shapes dominate in many modern wedding bands for men. For example, the 14K White Gold Concave Wedding Band turns the shape of the traditional wedding ring inside out as it curves inward toward the wearer’s finger from the edges rather than upward. A highly-polished finish draws attention to the unique form of this minimalistic yet striking 14K white gold band. If you prefer, this contemporary band is also available in 14K yellow gold, 18K white gold or platinum by request.

Updated designs are also popular elements on men’s modern wedding bands, and several of the styles in Apples of Gold’s collection take centuries-old motifs and reimagine them in a way that’s completely fresh. For instance, the Kendrick Celtic Wedding Band in 14K Two-Tone Gold reinterprets a time-honored Celtic knot design, giving it a slightly angular look that’s perfect for the present. This motif is sculpted from gleaming 14K yellow gold as it wraps in never-ending fashion around this eye-catching ring. This design sits atop an 8mm wide band that provides a pop of contrast, drawing extra attention to this ring’s up-to-the-minute motif. This is just one of Apples of Gold’s men’s two-tone wedding bands with a decidedly modern personality.

A modern metal can also render a men’s wedding band a contemporary option. While gold, platinum and silver can certainly look up-to-date, when you choose a metal that’s a relative newcomer to the jewelry scene, you can be sure that you’ll get an up-to-the-minute piece. For example, men’s titanium wedding bands feature a metal that’s not only incredibly strong, remarkably lightweight and naturally hypoallergenic, but that also has a sleek, understated look that’s the epitome of cool.

The Black Titanium Wedding Band Ring is a simple yet striking example of titanium’s contemporary good looks. A single recessed black stripe wraps around this minimalistic design, adding an eye-catching, upscale accent. Available in your choice of widths, from 4mm wide to 10mm wide, you can customize this ring in proportion to your finger. You also have your pick of two finishes, polished or satin matte, allowing you to choose a band with impressive shine or one with understated sheen.

Cobalt is another modern metal choice, and rings that feature it are both contemporary and classy. For instance, the 6mm Satin-Finished Beveled Cobalt Wedding Band Ring communicates a sense of undeniable class as it combines two textures in one modern style. A satin-finish center contrasts with highly-polished beveled edges in stunning fashion.

From bands with updated shapes to rings with reinterpreted motifs to pieces crafted with modern metals, today’s men have plenty of contemporary options! Try one of these rings to communicate that your love is perfect for the present.

Vintage wedding rings for women are popular picks, not only for their good looks, but also for their ability to represent the timelessness of your love. The styles of these rings have proven their staying power, and the fact that they’ve retained their appeal decade after decade allows them to serve as more-than-fitting symbols of a lasting relationship.

Quality craftsmanship is a hallmark of vintage styles, contributing not only exquisite style but also fitting representations that you’re willing to give the very best to the one you love. For example, the Handmade Paisley Floral Wedding Band in 14K White Gold is expertly carved by hand with a graceful motif of flowers and paisley-like swirls. This detailed motif provides a look that’s soft yet stunning as it adorns this 3m-wide band. And, if 14K white gold isn’t your thing, this demure little ring is also available in 18K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, platinum and sterling silver.

Flowers are a popular motif on vintage wedding bands, both with and without paisley, and their presence adds an unmistakable touch of romance. And, when these botanically-inspired patterns are paired with diamonds, they create a glittering picture of love that’s always in bloom. For instance, the Floret Diamond Wedding Band displays a row of 11 glittering diamonds, totaling nearly a quarter carat, placing them in a band with time-honored appeal. These channel-set gems glimmer as they’re framed by delicate milgrain edges, while a meticulously-carved repeating floret motif adorns the sides of this lovely 14K white gold piece. The design that’s lavished upon this striking, feminine wedding band matches the motif found on the 3/4 Carat Three Stone Princess Cut “Floret” Diamond Ring, allow this wedding band to serve as a perfect partner for a truly stunning engagement ring. These two rings are also available as a matching bridal ring set.

While vintage wedding bands are often thought of as styles for women, they’re not just for ladies! Apples of Gold carries a number of vintage men’s wedding bands, such as the Antiqued Celtic Knot Wedding Band. This 8mm-wide 14K white gold band is wrapped with a Celtic knot motif, an emblem that many have adopted as a symbol of eternity, creating a stylish picture of love without end. An antiqued finish makes this design stand out, while simultaneously giving this ring a look that’s cool and eye-catching.

Whether you think of them as something old or something new, vintage wedding bands are excellent options for expressing timeless love. These rings declare that your relationship has staying power.

Wearing matching wedding bands is one way to celebrate your bond with your spouse, and when those rings display unique designs, they serve as symbols that the love you share is far from ordinary. Every time you look at your left hand, you’ll be reminded of that one special someone who’s wearing the same style.

Many of the rings in Apples of Gold’s collection of Celtic wedding bands are perfectly suited for both the bride and the groom. These styles utilize centuries-old knot motifs, designs that many have adopted as symbols of eternity, to create pictures of your endless love.

The Caer Celtic Knot Wedding Band Ring in 14K Gold is an excellent pick for you and your better half. A raised, intertwining Celtic knot motif wraps seamlessly around this piece, creating a picture of the way that you and the one you love are woven together for life. This design is striking in 14K yellow gold, though it’s available in several other metals, as well as a two-tone option. And, since this 7mm-wide band is also available in a wider width by request, the groom can select a slightly larger version to coordinate with the bride’s ring.

Hammered wedding bands can also be great picks for both husbands and wives. Their pounded texture provides rugged yet sophisticated appeal, while disguising any dents or dings that they incur over time. For instance, the 14K Two-tone Gold Hammered Wedding Band Ring is a great style for men and women as it combines two colors and two textures in one winning design. The center of this ring is crafted from 14K yellow gold with a hammered texture and a brushed finish that provides a sense of understated sophistication. Smooth, polished edges of 14K white gold add eye-catching contrast and frame this band with class. This timeless style is available in a number of other metals and several two-tone combinations, making it easy to select rings that fit your style.

Braided wedding bands provide another option for brides and grooms in search of matching rings. These bands’ interweaving motifs are both stylish and meaningful: their intertwining strands create pictures of the inextricable bond between husband and wife. The 14K White Gold Wide Braided Wedding Band is a lovely example. Elegant braided strands of 14K white gold are wrapped around this classy ring, and framed with polished edges. At 7.5mm wide, it’s a size that works well for men and women.

Plain wedding bands are far from your only options when you’re looking for matching rings for the bride and groom! Consider one of these rings to celebrate your connection as husband and wife.

The triquetra has been used in Celtic artworkg since at least the seventh century AD, and throughout the centuries it has adorned works ranging from the Book of Kells to architecture to, yes, jewelry. This long history assures that this motif isn’t going out of style anytime soon—and neither is the message behind it.

In addition to serving as a reminder of the trinity, wedding bands that feature the triquetra are clear and powerful symbols of a husband and wife joined together in the Lord. King Solomon wrote that “a threefold cord is not quickly broken,” and these rings are wearable reminders of the strength that’s found in unity with your spouse and with your Creator.

In addition, like all Celtic knots, the triquetra is a fitting symbol of eternity. Its looping pattern never comes to an end, making it a lovely way to represent love that never runs out.

The Antiqued Celtic Triquetra Trinity Knot Wedding Band gives a bold, time-honored look to the Triquetra, placing it within triangles of recessed antiqued 14K white gold and creating eye-catching contrast. These shining motifs pop against the black backdrop upon which they sit, emphasizing their timeless class and the meaning behind them. This 7mm-wide band is a bold choice, perfect for any modern guy or for any bride looking to veer from traditional bridal jewelry in a way that’s meaningful and classy.

The Celtic Trinity Knot Wedding Band in 14K Yellow Gold uses a subtle tone-on-tone effect to emphasize the triquetra. This look is created as shining designs dance on top of a brushed-finished backdrop. A repeating trinity knot design wraps around this ring in elegant fashion, its rounded loops calling to mind a line of meticulously-tended flowers. This piece is given a warm disposition through sunny yellow gold, but, if you prefer, this style is also available in 14k white gold, rose gold and sterling silver, as well as 18K gold or platinum by request.

The Celtic Trinity Knot Wedding Band in 14K Two-Tone Gold uses a different sort of contrast: that of two different metals. This unique ring features a three-dimensional trinity knot motif, sculpted from gleaming 14K yellow gold. Edges of 14K white gold frame this expertly-crafted design and add draw eyes to its stunning curves. Or, chose a more subtle take on this design in a single metal such as the Celtic Trinity Knot Wedding Band in 14K White Gold.

Celtic wedding rings that feature the triquetra are classy and meaningful ways to celebrate your relationship with your spouse and harmony with your Creator. Their use of the trinity knot is always meaningful and perpetually stylish.

Celtic motifs have been adopted by many as symbols of eternity as their continually curving shapes have no beginning or end. When these designs are featured on wedding bands, they can become not only emblems of eternity, but also reminders that your love and commitment will never run out. While these motifs are both powerful and elegant in any metal, two-tone styles that utilize Celtic motifs allow these designs to fully take the spotlight, emphasizing their message and their good looks. The contrast that’s created when these designs are placed on a background of a different color gives two-tone Celtic wedding bands a distinctive edge.

The Celtic Heart Knot Wedding Band Ring in 14K White Gold and Rose Gold takes a timeless symbol of love and meshes it with a Celtic knot to form a unique picture of your unending affection. Hearts are intricately intertwined with curling Celtic designs to create an emblem of affection that repeats all the way around this band. This one-of-a-kind motif is formed from three-dimensional rose gold to give it an extra sense of warmth and to allow it to stand out against the 14K white gold band that holds it.

The Celtic Trinity Knot Wedding Band in 14K Two-Tone Gold is rich with meaning as well as striking style. This bold ring features the Triquerta, a knot of three loops that has often represented the trinity as well as serving as a symbol as connection and unity. The use of this motif allows this ring to serve not only as a reminder of your love and commitment, but also of the One who brought you and the one you love together. The combination of 14K yellow gold on top of a 14K white gold band creates a look that’s eye-catching and memorable.

If you’d prefer a modern take on the timeless Celtic knot, don’t miss the Kendrick Celtic Wedding Band in 14K Two-Tone Gold. This sleek style gives a Celtic motif a contemporary angular treatment that makes this centuries-old design seem fresh and up-to-the minute. Inspired by an hourglass-shaped infinity knot, this pattern wraps around the wearer’s finger with a cool, crisp sensibility while creating a completely currant picture of your commitment to love forever. A shining 14K white gold band creates the perfect backdrop for this yellow gold motif, allowing it shine in the foreground.

In addition to these striking examples, each of these two-tone wedding bands with Celtic motifs is available in a number of metal combinations. Celtic wedding rings in any of these combinations allow the motifs they contain to take center stage, serving as bold representations of your unending commitment.

Wedding band sets with braided motifs add an extra measure of symbolism as they depict the weaving of two lives into one. In a braid, individual strands combine to form a cord that’s stronger than the sum of its parts—a perfect representation of the strength that results when two become one. For instance, the 14K White Gold 7.6mm Braided Wedding Band Set is wrapped with a clean braid of flat strands of 14K white gold, a picture of the way that you and the one you love are intertwined for life. Milgrain edges frame this classy braid and add contrasting texture, while smooth, polished edges provide a simple but fitting finishing touch.

Celtic Wedding bands provide a time-honored way to signify your connection as their intertwining motifs create pictures of endless love. The knots that adorn these rings have been adopted by many couples as symbols of eternity, as these designs continually twist and turn without end. The Caer Celtic Knot Wedding Band Set in 14K Two-Tone Gold showcases a modern, slightly angular interpretation of a centuries-old design sculpted from shining 14K yellow gold. This motif is strikingly contrasted by the backdrop upon which it rests: a highly-polished, 7mm wide, 14K white gold band.

Plain wedding bands may not be fancy, but as is the case with all wedding rings, they communicate a powerful message. In fact, their simple shape can help them convey this message with clarity and strength. A circle represents the endless nature of true love, and these minimalistic styles allow this symbolism to take the spotlight.

For instance, the 6mm Plain White Gold Wedding Band Set in 14K simply and elegantly communicates undying affection and commitment. This pair of rings is available with a polished or brushed finish, as well as your choice of a traditional or comfort fit, which allow these bands to sit more naturally on the wearers’ fingers.

If you’re attracted to the unmistakable elegance and meaningful grace of classic styles, but are looking for rings that are a little out of the ordinary, consider the 14K White Gold and Rose Gold Wedding Band Set.

“‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”  

When you say “I do,” God Himself binds you and the one you love together, allowing the two of you to truly become one. While all wedding bands represent your connection to your spouse, those with extra touches of symbolism can be especially meaningful expressions of your bond.

Christian wedding bands that feature Bible verses, crosses, doves or other emblems of faith are a popular way to celebrate that God brought you and the one you love together, but they’re far from the only way. Apples of Gold carries a number of wedding bands that communicate the connection between husband and wife with unique symbols of love.

The Two-Halves One Flesh Wedding Band Ring presents a picture of marriage inspired by the very first words spoken about the unique relationship between a husband and wife, as recorded in the book of Genesis. Two contrasting halves, one of 14K white gold and one of 14K yellow gold, combine to form a modern symbol of two becoming one. These complementary metals meet in a waving seam that wraps gracefully around a flat 7mm band.

Celtic wedding bands are another meaningful way to represent your relationship. The continual knot motifs that are featured in these pieces have been adopted by many as symbols of eternity, making them ideal for communicating endless love. In addition, their intertwining nature forms a picture of the way that a husband and wife are woven together so that they share one another’s joys and sorrows.

The Caedmon Celtic Wedding Band in 14K Two-Tone Gold is a striking example of the ability of Celtic designs to represent the bond that’s formed in a marriage. A strong, slightly angular knot motif wraps around this ring in seamless 14K yellow gold, while a 14K white gold background allows this knot to really pop. This shining contrast draws attention to the unique look of this ring, and to the meaning behind it.

A braid can also symbolize the bond of a marriage relationship, as individual strands combine to create a single cord that’s stronger on its own than any strand could be alone. This is gorgeously demonstrated by the 14K White Gold 7.6mm Braided Wedding Band Ring. This designer style combines several textures to create a shining reminder of your unbreakable connection to each other. A braid of gleaming flat strands is hugged by elegant lines of milgrain and accented by smooth edges.

If you’re looking to celebrate your bond, try one of these uniquely meaningful wedding rings. Each one is a beautiful picture of what God has joined together.

The appeal of black titanium wedding bands runs far deeper than their outward appearance. These rings are crafted from a modern performance metal, one that’s both stronger and lighter than steel, making it a fitting way to represent the fortitude of your love. These rings are also highly resistant to tarnish, as well as naturally hypoallergenic—they’re cool, lasting, low-maintenance pieces that can be worn by anyone, even those with sensitive skin. And, in addition to these standout properties, these titanium wedding bands are remarkably affordable, making them accessible for brides and grooms on a budget.

Celtic knots are given an extra dose of contrast and class when they’re interpreted in black titanium. For instance, the infinity knot motif of the Black Titanium Celtic Wedding Band stands out against a backdrop of sleek, gray titanium. This design is repeated in a never-ending ring of black inlay, creating a continual picture of love that never runs out. This modern ring with a centuries-old knot is available in your choice of widths, allowing you to select one that’s perfectly proportioned to your hand.

If you’d prefer a more minimalistic design, try one of Apple of Gold’s simple wedding bands that are given a unique twist with black titanium. Like all plain wedding bands, these styles are incredibly versatile and timelessly classy.

For a simple look that veers from tradition while maintaining an unfussy appeal, try a classic style with a dark-colored twist. For instance, the Black Titanium Concave Wedding Band Ring subtly turns the curve of a traditional plain wedding band inside out, creating a look that’s unique but that doesn’t demand attention. Rather, it slowly draws the eye through its innovative shape and combination of textures. Rounded, polish edges give this ring a touch of ebony shine, while the rest of the band gives off an understated, brushed sheen that highlights the band’s inward curve.

Like their titanium counterparts, cobalt wedding bands are also strong, affordable choices. The metal from which they’re crafted is shatter-proof, scratch-resistant and can be polished to stunning luster. Black cobalt rings also offer style that’s cool and current. For instance, the Cobalt Maltese Black Diamond Cross Ring wraps an antiqued wide cobalt band in a series of six Maltese crosses, symbols of protection. Each cross contains an extra dose of black: a round black diamond accents the center of every one. This band’s burnished finish gives it an aged, rugged look that’s also contemporary.

Black wedding bands are far better than basic. Their strength, versatility and perpetually cool, dark good looks make them standout styles for modern brides and grooms

Hammered styles can take whatever you throw at them, and their intentionally weathered look means that a few dents and dings only add to their character. They’ ready for anything and can stand up to a lifetime of knocks—in fact, these little imperfections make them more treasured as time passes. Like true love, these pieces get better as they weather the storms of life.

These rings are excellent choices for guys who tend to be hard on their jewelry. They’re among the more popular types of white gold wedding bands for men, but they’re also great picks for women or for couples who want a matching set.

The Hammered Wedding Band Ring in 14K White Gold combines a hammered center with double polished edges that add class without overpowering the rough and ready personality of this ring. The understated contrast of pounded and smooth textures provides interest and communicates your love with quiet strength. In addition to this 14K white gold version, this ring is also in 14K two-tone gold, 18K gold or platinum, as well as any other color combination by request.

Hammered styles that combine pounded finishes with polished touches such as gleaming edges or exacting milgrain offer the perfect pairing of rugged good looks and refined style. The Hammered Milgrain Wedding Band in 14K White Gold is a perfect example. This 7mm-wide ring accents a pounded center with a thin border of fine, twisting milgrain and highly-polished edges. It’s simultaneously classy and rough-hewn, making it suitable for a wide range of tastes.

If you’d prefer a hammered wedding ring with a touch of warm yellow gold, consider one of Apples of Gold’s two-tone hammered styles such as the Brushed Hammered Wedding Band in 14K Two-Tone Gold. This eye-catching piece features a pounded ring of 14K white gold, hugged by not one but two yellow gold edges that add sunny sophistication. This combination of milgrain and smooth, polished borders gives this ring a dressed up look that doesn’t lose touch with its rugged roots. If this color combination isn’t quite your cup of tea, you can also choose from several other metal pairings.

Any of these Hammered wedding rings can easily stand up to the dents and dings of life, and grow in character as a result. Their pounded look is a reminder that true love can endure any trials and become stronger in the process. Choose one or a set to represent your lasting, resilient relationship.
