Best Metals for Men’s Wedding Bands
A wedding band is more than just a ring; it symbolizes love, commitment, and style. For men, the choice of metal plays a big role in comfort, durability, and everyday wear. At Teresa and Sons, a trusted Montreal jeweller, we specialize in creating custom wedding bands tailored to every lifestyle and taste.
Whether you want something timeless, rugged, or one-of-a-kind, here’s a guide to the best metals for men’s wedding bands.
1. Gold (10K, 14K, 18K)
Gold wedding bands are a classic choice. Available in yellow, white, or rose, gold offers elegance and longevity.
- 10K gold: Durable and budget-friendly
-
14K gold: Great balance of strength and purity
- 18K gold: Higher purity, softer, and richer in colour
We offer men’s gold wedding bands in all karats and colours, with the option to personalize with custom finishes or engraving.
2. Platinum
Known for its prestige, platinum is hypoallergenic, incredibly strong, and naturally white, making it ideal for those who want low maintenance and a luxurious look.
- Doesn’t tarnish or fade
- Perfect for sensitive skin
- Heavier and denser than gold
A perfect match for couples choosing custom jewellery that will last generations.
3. Titanium
Titanium is lightweight, ultra-durable, and resistant to scratches, ideal for active lifestyles.
- Sleek, modern aesthetic
- Matte or polished finishes
- Great for daily wear
For men who want a bold look with a comfortable feel, titanium wedding bands are a smart, stylish choice.
4. Tungsten
Tungsten is one of the hardest metals available for wedding bands. Its scratch resistance and heavyweight feel give it a strong, masculine look.
- Comes in black, grey, or gunmetal tones
- Extremely durable, but non-resizable
- Affordable and modern
At Teresa and Sons, we offer tungsten options for grooms who want something unconventional yet lasting.
5. Palladium
Part of the platinum family, palladium is lighter, hypoallergenic, and more affordable, ideal for men who want a white-metal look without the platinum price tag.
- Similar appearance to platinum
- Doesn’t require rhodium plating
- Low-maintenance finish
6. Custom Mixed Metals
Want something unique? Custom wedding bands can combine two or more metals, like a rose gold interior with a white gold exterior, for a striking contrast. It’s an excellent way to reflect your personal style.
Our Montreal jeweller team can help you design a custom ring that tells your story while suiting your lifestyle.
