While the diamond engagement ring gets a lot of attention, picking out a groom’s wedding band is also a crucial part of the wedding planning process. And no, the groom's ring is not just limited to a plain golden band—there is a wide range of styles and metals to choose from.
“It’s a collaborative process,” says jeweler David Schoenfeld. “Often, the bride buys the groom’s wedding band to reciprocate after receiving an engagement ring. That being said, it’s also common for guys to know what they want and pick it out themselves.”
“Men’s wedding bands are no longer ‘one style fits all,’” Schoenfeld explains. In fact, designs can vary with different metallic blends, intricate textures, 18k diamond-encrusted gold details, and classic dome profiles. With so many different choices out there, there really are phenomenal options at every price point.
Whether you’re after a traditional look or something as unique as your relationship, we've researched the best men's wedding bands on the market. If you're partial to classic styles, we recommend the MAREI Eterno Knife Edge Wedding Ring and the Anna Sheffield Classic Half Round Band.

Meet the Expert
David Schoenfeld is the founder of Ring Bear, which offers men's wedding bands and gifts.
What to Look for When Choosing a Groom's Wedding Band
Metal
While yellow gold is the most common type of groom's band, there are many metal options to consider. “White gold has really caught on recently," Schoenfeld says. "Platinum is the top-of-the-line option, and tungsten is a newer offering that is often more affordable.”
Style
There are many style options to consider for a groom's wedding. “Between different materials, colors, widths, and styles, there’s an opportunity for subtle yet meaningful variation to better fit his lifestyle and personality,” Schoenfeld says. The groom-to-be should select a ring most suited to their individual style, be it an eco-friendly blended metal or a durable silicone ring.
Cost
Depending on the type of metal you choose, the price of a wedding band can vary. “The average for a tungsten band is $200-$300; gold (yellow or white) is $350-1,000 depending on the carat; and platinum can be found at $1,000-1,200,” Schoenfeld says.
