Do Guys Wear Diamond Wedding Rings? Diamond Bands for Men

Do guys wear diamond wedding rings

Should guys wear a diamond wedding ring?

Diamond wedding rings, in addition to plain styles, make a popular choice for the groom. But plain wedding rings continue to outsell diamond wedding rings.

Diamonds represent strength, endurance, permanence and love. In addition, they provide hardness and strength—all striking traits for men’s jewellery.

Men’s wedding ring designs rarely include diamonds. For this reason, we assembled a collection of amazing men’s diamond wedding rings to complement our plain wedding rings.

The most apparent characteristic of the men’s wedding ring styles is a broader ring width. Chunkier styles give additional depth for setting diamonds. Much larger diamonds require a raised bezel or claw.

Many designs appear in our men’s wedding ring section, described below.

Men’s rings for everyday wear

For those guys considering a diamond ring for everyday wear, don’t be put off by wedding ring styles. Most of our diamond wedding rings for men serve equally well on alternative fingers to the wedding ring finger. Many men wear plain bands, diamond rings or a signet ring that can be engraved or set with a diamond.

The following designs describe the image above, with numbered ring styles available with natural or lab-grown diamonds.

Ring 1 – Tension Set

In our first design, a simple, single-stone diamond band features a tension-style setting with a comfortable band completed with a satin matte finish.

Ring 2 – Princess Cut Diamonds

Our second design shows a contemporary slight court wedding ring set with princess cut diamonds spaced equally over the upper surface of the band, adding sparkle to an otherwise plain band.

Ring 3 – Baguette Cut Diamonds

In this variation, three flush-set Baguette cut diamonds span the width of a court-shaped wedding ring for a unique flush-set fancy-shaped diamond effect with less sparkle than other diamond cuts.

Ring 4 – Machined Edge Band

Similar to the second design, this variation features a machined edge with flush set Princess cut diamonds across the band. The additional contrast comes from a mixed brushed and polished finish.

Ring 12 – Four Stone Men’s Diamond Band

Ring 13 – Men’s Baguette and Round Diamond Wedding Ring

This attractive men’s band combines the subtle fire of baguette-cut diamonds arranged in a central pattern on either side of a round brilliant-cut diamond.

Ring 14 – Double Cross-Set Diamond Channels

Our final design sparkles with small round brilliant cut diamonds arranged to run across the with of a wedding ring. The double channel introduces more diamonds into a wedding ring than other single-channel variations.
