Popular Mens Gold Rings
by Theodore G.
Mens gold rings used to be popular in yellow gold with basic stones such as onyx. Nowadays mens white gold rings are more trendy because the white look is considered edgier and racier and diamonds also tend to show up better on white gold. Hip hop jewelry has played a big part the rise of the mens gold ring. The hip hop or iced out look started from rap artists who wanted to express their triumph over the hard lives that they were born into and would sport 18k all the way to 9ct gold mens rings covered with white, black, blue and yellow diamonds. Jacob the jeweler was one of the pioneers in creating this type of look for hip hop artists and white gold or platinum was the best metal to show up the beauty of colored diamonds because it could be made to look mirror bright with some rhodium plating.
Other gold rings for men that are quite popular are mens gold coin rings. The preferred coins to be used are American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leaf or American Indian Head coins. They are at the same time masculine, have intrinsic value and tell a story. Men who are passionate about ancient coins will sport Greek and Roman silver drachmas in gold mountings. Designer men gold rings include some of the Alaskan heritage styles such as real gold nuggets embedded in 14k or 18k gold rings that are symbolic of the Alaskan gold rush.
Mens gold wedding rings is the other big category that frequently needs the bride to be’s approval. Men usually go for simple white or yellow gold bands that have “comfort fit”. The more elaborate men gold ring will have diamonds on the shoulders or top of the ring. Men’s gold rings sporting diamonds come in all styles from solitaire to invisible set diamonds. A mens gold diamond ring used to be a simple affair with either a single diamond mounted on top, or a row of diamonds across the center, usually 3 or 5 round diamonds set in a center channel. Nowadays these types of rings have big skull and bones motifs on top blanketed with pave diamonds in every color imaginable. Colored diamonds have changed the look entirely of mens white gold diamond rings. Treated diamonds now come in all colors, the most popular for men being black and blue.
Black and blue diamonds are quite a bit less costly compared to their white counterparts because they don’t have to be super clean. A one carat round white diamond of medium quality can easily run upwards of $4000. A blue diamond of good quality that has no spots under the table and is a pleasant shade of sea blue will run $1500- $1800. Yet it will have a nice big look and goes wonderfully with 14k or 18 white gold.
