Men's gold ring

If you want to show your love for a man, then one of the most effective ways is to give him a ring that suits his psychological type correctly.

A men's ring can be a gift not only for a loved one or husband. You can give it to a father, brother, son or male friend.

Choosing a men's ring is usually less tiring than a women's one. The main thing is that you have ideas about the design that will best suit the taste of the user.

For example, if he is a fan of fantasy, you can always please him with a copy of the famous ring of Omnipotence.

If he is an avid motorcyclist, then you should know that biker rings exist and they value these rings as much as their leather jackets. These are somewhat oversized rings with a skull and inlays that resemble chains.

Some of these rings are very impressive and are decorated with snakes, eagles and other wild creatures.

To choose a ring suitable for a man, one must take into account the peculiarities of male psychology. Most men want to look individual and are constantly trying to differentiate themselves from other people - be it their hair style, the car they drive, their favorite sport, movies and books.

Ideally, you need to look for a ring that not only suits his interests and suits his taste, but will also be combined with the maximum amount of his everyday clothes.

A very cute ring that looks amazing when a man is wearing his best suit is a good investment but only if he wears that suit regularly.

Otherwise, the ring turns into an expensive paperweight for most of life.

It is imperative to take into account the characteristics of his hand, and the width of the cross section of the ring is especially important.

As a rule, when choosing a men's ring, it is a choice between a thick or thin ring.

The average width of a male ring is 6 mm - 7 mm. If he has thick fingers, it is advisable to choose wide rings, 8 mm or 9 mm.

If he has thin fingers, thin rings (approximately 6 mm wide) will have the best aesthetic effect.

Wide rings are perceived, as a rule, more masculine, the main thing is that they do not interfere with their owner to bend his finger.

There are only two of them - this is directly a ring, that is, a ring with a stone; and a ring - a signet with a stone, having a pattern: an engraving or an overlay. Such stones are called cameos (convex relief) and intaglios (with in-depth relief).

A "signet" that does not have a stone insert cannot be called a ring, it's just a ring.

Rings can be divided into those that perform a purely decorative function and those that send a specific cultural message.

There are categories of men who wear rings that demonstrate their personal significance in society.

It could be a club ring, a family seal, or perhaps a Masonic emblem.

In many armies of the world, veterans may also wear rings that identify their branch of service or even a specific educational institution (they indicate the owner's data, years of study or service, and even the number of the military unit).

Basketball or hockey players are also given nominal rings.

Thus, wearing a similar ring on a finger, a person receives certain advantages.

He becomes recognizable in the circle of "his own", enjoys additional respect and influence.

But a decorative ring on a man's hand is a bold statement about himself. And the main thing here is not to overdo it.

Most men choose gold rings and diamond rings made of gold, as these are symbols of social status and wealth.

Fashion trends include:

• Rings made in various color combinations;

• frosted rings,

• Rings made of gold with black stones (black diamond, agate, onyx),

• White gold men's rings

• Rings with a large diamond.

Usually, yellow gold is used to create men's rings, the shades of which change depending on its carat, that is, on the addition of other metals to the composition of pure gold.

Since natural gold is too soft, it cannot be a durable material for creating jewelry and cannot securely hold the stones set in it.

The most popular was 14 carat gold, in which 14 parts of gold accounted for 10 parts of other metals. The color of gold also changes from the additive material.The addition of copper, silver, nickel, zinc, aluminum and sometimes platinum is used.

Pink, red and orange shades are given by the addition of copper in combination with silver.

Palladium and silver give white color to gold.

Silver can also give a greenish tinge, although more often green gold is obtained by adding potassium and aurum. Olive gold items are highly valued as they are extremely rare.

Iron and chromium give blue color to gold.

Purple gold is obtained by adding aluminum, aurum and potassium.

But the popular shades of dark gold - chocolate, brown and black - are the result of numerous chemical treatments.

White gold has recently been added to this traditional gold, as well as various color inserts that give unexpected and attractive combinations, the so-called “two-tone rings”.

An eclectic mix of two shades of precious metals is created, which are mixed and interspersed with each other.

This design solution attracts with its versatility. These rings are easier to combine with clothes and watches. These rings have become a kind of sensation in the jewelry world and are rapidly gaining popularity.

Horseshoe design, Rolex

or in the form of a nugget studded with diamonds, emphasizes the stylish brilliance of these rings and attracts outrageous men.

For supporters of traditionalism, more stringent combinations are offered.

Such as, for example, a rounded gold ring with a white gold overlay on the rim and three diamonds arranged diagonally.

Or a rectangular ring - a signet, made of yellow gold with imitation of diagonal cuts, in which white gold sparkles and shines, and adorned with diamonds.

Such rings definitely distinguish their owner from the crowd and are the subject of admiration and envy.

Today, most young people prefer to wear rings that are made with a rough matte surface effect. They look not only elegant, but also discreet, without drawing much attention to the owner's hand, and there is a category of men who demand exactly this from jewelry.

Matted rings can be made in traditional yellow gold, or in white or red, the surface of which is treated in a special way that does not allow for the appearance of shine.

Brushed gold gold rings look very meaningful when they are decorated with an ancient symbol. This decoration has a pronounced retro effect.

They are also well suited to emphasize the power and brilliance of the gemstone they contain.

A black stone signet ring is the right choice for those men who want to stand out from the crowd, but prefer discreet colors and not too much glitter.

For a long time, black stones such as onyx, agate and black diamond are inserted into the rings.

Black onyx exudes masculine charm and is very durable due to its physical properties. The cut is round, oval, square, pear-shaped and heart-shaped in different sizes. Onyx is often referred to as a black diamond, as it is easy to confuse it with a diamond if cut correctly.At the same time, it is very attractive in price, as it is found in nature quite often and is very large.

Onyx rings add charm to the presence of small diamonds or gold overlays with images of animals and birds. Available in various shades of gold.

Agates are inserted into men's rings not only for the sake of beauty and external attractiveness, but also for reasons of a mystical nature. Black agate, mined in Central Asia, is believed to have protective magical properties. As well as green-black agate: moss agate, which is considered the stone of the sages, and which is customary to give to people respected in the world of science. Or a rare agate from Brazil called the "eye of the jaguar".

For frames, gold, pink and yellow are more often used. Minimalistic designs are possible, showing only the inner beauty of the stone.

For example, a rectangular insert made of dendritic agate, grey-black with streaks, set in rose gold.

Or a vintage 14 carat gold ring with greenish agate.

The cut of the stone is usually simple, since agate does not differ in special brilliance, and accordingly there is no need for a large number of faces.

Unlike agate, a black diamond, or carbonado, requires careful and exquisite cutting. A black diamond is a truly masculine stone; it is decorated with exclusive rings that have a considerable price. Most often it is set in white gold, sometimes with black rhodium plating. The decoration thereby acquires a mysterious and brutal look. In order to emphasize the play of light in a black diamond, a frame of transparent diamonds is also used.

More and more people are interested in men's white gold rings, because elegant white gold is very suitable for men. Plus, white is a versatile color that goes with all types of outfits and occasions.

White gold is created by alloying ordinary yellow gold with light metals such as nickel, palladium, platinum. The added white metal brightens the natural color of the gold, as well as giving strength and durability.

There are numerous benefits to wearing a white gold ring. It frames the insert stone more effectively than the usual yellow gold. White gold is stronger, less prone to scratches and more suitable for everyday wear. Rhodium plating, which is applied to white gold, gives it additional brightness and enhances resistance to damage.

Men's white gold rings, decorated with all kinds of stones, are presented in a huge number of styles and options. There are interesting handmade solutions. For example, an impressive combination of a magnificent princess-cut emerald with medium-sized white diamonds in 10 carat white gold.

Diamonds are popular for their elegance and versatility, as well as their considerable value. The presence of such a ring speaks of the wealth and success of the owner, is a kind of pass to the world of the rich and famous.

Relevant are gold rings with a princess cut diamond surrounded by two circles of small pavé diamonds. They are made in the form of a rounded octagon of 14 carat gold, resistant to external influences. Delightful and sparkling jewelry, expensive and elegant at the same time.

Hundreds of years ago, the most common place for a ring was the index finger.

The ring on this finger is associated with strength, leadership and authority.

The presence of a ring on the thumb is a sign of wealth and influence. Such rings are usually voluminous and expensive. It is also a sign that the owner wants to distance himself somewhat from the rest.

Rings are rarely worn on the middle finger.

If a person has a ring on this finger, he is inclined to balance in everything and tries to be responsible.

A ring on the little finger is worn by a person who wants to attract additional attention to himself.

This is the most catchy and designer option for wearing a men's ring.

Proponents of astrology associate the little finger with intelligence and persuasion. Usually people of creative professions like to wear a ring on the little finger.

Wearing a pinky ring has several benefits:

• This finger is not used for religious or cultural (wedding ring) ring wearing in any of the common cultures, unlike the ring finger;

• The ring on the little finger does not interfere with the owner in everyday life;

• Wearing a ring on the little finger makes it more catchy, due to the fact that few people use it.

A men's ring will always remain a desirable accessory, the presence of which expresses the individuality of the owner.
