Mens wedding rings

I've had a lot of requests for wedding band recently.
But the bigger question for all the guys is:
what's the best ring for a man?

It comes down to personal choice at the end,
but guys have just as big a variety as women these days.
Guys can choose between a bunch of metals:
Silver, Yellow Gold, White Gold, Platinum, Titanium and Tungsten
 
  

 If you want to keep it traditional, just go for a plain yellow gold band.

  

Or mix it up with an intricate design?
 
But for the guys who really want something different, 
why not some stones in the mix?
Men these days do like something flashy.

Think about what you want and then what you need.
If you work with your hands a lot steer clear of softer metals, 
like 18ct Gold or Silver, that can scratch and deform easily.
Also remember if you pic Titanium or Tungsten, 
they can't be resized like the other metals,
one size for better or worse.

Favourite commissions upto April

Here's just a few pics of some of my favourite commissions I did recently:

I know I've blogged about this one before... But it's still a favourite.
Sterling Silver Gents Wedding ring, Roman Numerals reading the wedding date.


A Gear Heart Brooch in sterling silver with hand pierced cogs.
Made this one that the cogs fit snugly into each other
and cannot turn but the effect is amazing when worn!

And then one of my Heart Rings.
I oxidised the sides and polished the edges of this one.

I'm feeling an urge to play with this idea again and bring out some pieces inspired by it...

Friends, Romans and Countrymen...

Post Indaba has been amazing. I've gotten the most amazing clients
, you know who you are,
and have been busier than I thought I would be.


So I have to brag about this commission. This is a lovely couple I met at the expo.
They were married on Friday [11 March 2011]
and had this ring commissioned for the groom.
The ring reads the wedding date in roman numerals [MMXI III XI].
It was so ironic as well, seeing as the day I finished it I was invited to a toga party...
Anyway I think it's such an amazing ring
and the enthusiasm shown by these people when we decided on the design was contagious. Hoping to get more clients like this.
