How to Make Him Choose a Man Wedding Ring

Man Wedding Ring - fidelity

Men have not worn wedding rings until relatively recently, and a Man Wedding Ring really only became popular as a statement of fidelity in times of war.

Women have worn wedding rings as a symbol that they were married since time immemorial, and in many cultures, though not all as is popularly assumed, the Man Wedding Ring is also worn on the third finger of the left hand due to an ancient belief that this finger contained the ‘vena amoris’, the vein of love leading directly to the heart. This is variously claimed to have originated in ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt.

Man Wedding Ring - worldly

However, in Germany, Poland, Russia, Spain, India, Greece and some South American countries, the Man Wedding Ring is worn on the right hand. There are other European countries where the practice varies with religion, and yet other countries where no rings are worn at all. This is true of both men’s and women’s rings.

A Man Wedding Ring became common during the Second World War, when American soldiers made a public statement of their marital status, and fidelity to their wives back home, by wearing wedding bands. This says a lot for them since it was unusual for men to wear rings at this time and considered by many to be an effeminate thing to do, yet they did it nevertheless. By doing so they made their status public and put themselves out of bounds to predatory women!

Man Wedding Ring - choices

So what do you look for in a Man Wedding Ring? First, it is usually a plain broad band of gold or platinum. Men generally prefer that to diamonds, although some might like the diamonds. The first thing a man will usually look at is the price: men generally object to spending lots of money on jewelry for themselves, and would rather purchase a good tool set or accessories for their car. A man is more likely to thank you for a thick tungsten band that will deflect a chain saw than a solid gold ring in the form of a heart. However, if you get him a ring that is a male sized version of your own, then he might complain less about the design.

If you intend your man to have a man wedding band then let him be part of the selection process. It is easier to persuade a man to wear a band that he has helped to choose than one presented to him. Apart from some exceptions it is no longer a time that a man has to advertise his married status, and while the Man Wedding Ring is becoming more popular with men, he will still be more liable to wear one if he has chosen it (or thinks he has).

Man Wedding Ring - practical

Many men feel that wearing a ring of any kind, including a Man Wedding Ring, is not for real men. The ratio of wearers to non wearers is currently around 50% in Europe and North America, and in some cultures men just do not wear jewelry. It can also be dangerous in some jobs, where the ring could get caught in machines and men have lost fingers solely due to the presence of the ring.

However, it is a choice that every man in the western world will likely have to make, assuming that there are no religious or cultural reasons why they should not. That decision can be made easier for some men when the ring is more than just an unadorned band. Most men are loathe to wear diamonds, but find the idea of a Celtic design more appealing. There is something about the Celts that seems manly to many men, and a Claddagh knot Celtic Man Wedding Ring appeals to many men that would refuse a plain gold band.

Man Wedding Ring - decisions

What man could possibly refuse a broad chunky black zirconium Celtic ring on his finger that not only looks great but also very masculine for a Man Wedding Ring? There are ways to persuade your man to wear a ring, and the psychology is to show him a few simple gold bands then give him sight of a tray with a big black zirconium Celtic band displayed among some thin white and pale yellow gold rings. He will bite your fingers off to get at it. Prearrange that with the jeweler and you will not have a problem.

Men love innovation and something different. The way to persuade your man to wear a Man Wedding Ring is to show him something different in a way that it looks even more different, and if you can do that then you will shortly have a man proud of his ring, whether it is a broad and strong titanium band, a golden Celtic knot or a big chunky Celtic black zirconium ring. Use your psychology and you will win, as you will more and more as you get to know him and how to use your guile and charm to persuade him what is good for him.
