Personally, for my wedding band, I wanted simple and classy. I don't like the concept of 'bling' on a guy's band and think it just looks tacky. I was going to be for the simple, totally plain, yellow-gold wedding band but ended up picking out something that had a little bit of beveling just to add a little bit of 'flare.' I love simple, classic, yellow bands for dudes. Especially ones that get beat to shit over the years. It's like a black suit - always classic, always timeless and never goes out of style. And one thing to consider is that we are men and likely inherently lazy about things like rings. White gold is all the style these days but keep in mind that it requires upkeep. You have to get the rhodium plating re-done on those things relatively frequently. Yellow gold, you just wear. Obviously there are harder metals like titanium that people get bands made out of these days, but again I'm more a fan of the classic stuff. I snapped a picture of my own wedding band (it's already getting pretty beat up which is awesome). Sorry about the shitty picture quality (iPhone hipstaprint), but I guess the point gets across - it's very simple. + Show Spoiler [One ring to bind them...] + ![]() Anyways, even though your soon-to-be father in law is a jeweler, it doesn't mean you can't go out to some shops, try some things on, and see what looks good on you. Maybe what you like in photos will look weird on you in reality. You never know. Happy hunting and congratulations! | ||

I personally like the simple ones, my husband and I both have plain platinum bands and they are great. | ||

My only recommendation is that you get the comfort fit. I think that's what it's called when the inside edge is rounded. My dad's wife's brother got that as his wedding ring(LOTR), quite weird tbh haha | ||

My wife's actual wedding ring is also a Nenya, but she wears a minimalist emerald gem one around, since it's not likely to get snagged on anything. | ||

![]() As for the quality-we were going to just order one in from her dad but he decided it's much better to have it made from scratch to ensure quality etc we were also originally going for 18k but apparently it's to soft so 9k will last longer (interesting fact.) Hopefully it all turns out nice and classic/timeless ![]() | ||

My suggestion is, go for something that suits you. Are you a prideful kind of person, or modest? etc. etc. Personally, I'd like some diamonds or a jewel in my ring, but others like the more modest way of just a band. | ||
