Silver Rings: Men's Fundamental Accessory

When it comes to jewellery and fashion, the men are more inclined to wear silver rings than any type of metal or jewellery. This is perhaps due to the fact that silver is easier paired with whatever outfit is worn. It can complement any sporty, casual or formal attire. The price of silver is also more affordable, that it is easier to collect jewellery of this sort with the gents. Silver also offers classic durability, exuding masculinity even when it is just a simple banded design, such as with a wedding ring.

A precious metal, silver is known to be malleable and ductile in its pure form. Jewellers like making use of this because it can be easily flattened, bent or formed into shapes, thus it is good to work with. Jewellers, however, mix this with other forms of metal so that it's tougher and long lasting when worn as an accessory.

Characteristics of a Good Silver Ring for Men

Quality rings are usually the type that men will never take off their fingers. As such, its design should be something a man is comfortable to wear. Prefer to have gemstones in it? Then ascertain that it is created well, with the stones attached to the ring properly to avoid any damage. The mounting on the design should be well set but on low profile, since men do not generally wear rings to flaunt.

As you will find in Bee Jewellery's collection, there are plenty of ring designs to choose from. They come in plain bands with a smooth or a detailed surface, or bands with stones or diamond on it. There are also contemporary designs that combine silver with another metal to make a two-toned ring.

Sometimes, jewellers incorporate silver plating on the rings, using platinum or rhodium, because this adds to its appearance. Do know however, that all types of silver jewellery, especially when it's not properly cared for, will eventually tarnish due to its composition or factors from the environmental. This is the reason why some jewellers often do plating, in the hopes of preventing tarnishing. Only, plating can come off and leave the ring with patches and a dull surface. Most quality silver rings, however, no longer need to have any plating done and actually look better off tarnished like an antique ring.

Ideally, the heavier the ring, the more it is expected to be durable. Those with thicker bands, a common feature for men's rings, carry good weight, which is important with men's rings since something this sturdy can accommodate mounting of stones and diamonds better.

Some rings appear to look heavy, but may be hollow on actual. You need to watch out for this when buying silver pieces at jewellery stores. Sometimes, though, other men may prefer to wear lighter rings because it is more comfortable on the hands or fingers. But typically, silver rings must weigh between 15 to 30 grams. Anything less than that should be indicative of its quality.

Because silver is fairly common, it is expected to be more affordable than gold or any other metal. There are plenty of mass-produced silver jewelry in the market, and they are priced really low. Cheap rings, however, almost always guarantee the need for repeated repairs. You should not sacrifice this when finding good, quality rings to buy.
