Mens Gemstone Rings

Jewelry is not just for the ladies... in fact, it never has been. Men were actually the primary wearers of rings in ancient times. Kings and noblemen wore them and used them as seals to identify themselves. Others wore pieces that identified their social class or the family they belonged to. Still others wore them to identify themselves as members of fraternal brotherhoods such as the Masons. Today, everyone wears jewelry and trends in men's styles have come a long way.

What guys are wearing

Guys are wearing gemstones, some more understated than others, but they like the sparkle too. Men's gemstone rings are usually bold with a thick band, maybe a squared off face and masculine stones like onyx or cat's eye. They also like the unusual star rubies and sapphires which are cut into a cabochon instead of faceted.

Men's gold rings may be a plain band or have intricate designs as well gemstones set in the band. Other trends include a laser finish, which gives it a matte look, and two tone designs. Men's white gold rings are often bordered with yellow gold for a unique and masculine look.

Different metals are also used besides gold in today's ring fashions. Men's silver rings are certainly not new, but they are a classically masculine metal that guys love. Newer metals that are being used are titanium and tungsten which are even more durable and can be worn by the roughest working man.
