Mens Bands

It was brought to my attention that I have not been equal-opportunity and I do apologize. I'm going to correct that with this post and with future postings. In this day and age how could I forget that a woman is free to propose to a man and men propose to other men.

The first series of rings are by Todd Reed. His work is very raw, masculine, and rugged. He uses raw diamonds, an untraditional material, channel setting them in a number of pieces with a combination of metals. Todd Reed's work feels modern and ancient all at the same time. I particular like ring TRDR506l color and finish with the small diamonds worked in to the side of the band. Ring TRDR125 metals combination and diamond work is really striking.

The next few rings are from Sarah Perlis. Perlis' work is refined with faint textures and far more traditional. Her work is elegant but not too feminine.

The last group comes from Zoe & Doyle. Their work is extremely modern not just in look but also materials and technique. This first group has a variety of inventive material combinations of wood, metal, ebony or carbon fiber. The final group comes from Zoe & Doyle are all Titanium bands, a very popular material for mens' rings. The jeweler is able to play with the color with the metal producing a lot of surprising combinations. I have to say I favor the matte finish combinations.


I don't have examples posted but Tungsten, Platinum and Palladium are also very popular metals for mens' band.
