Show-Stopping Men’s Wedding Bands

We’ve all heard about gold, silver and platinum engagement or wedding bands for grooms. But, are you hoping for something more modern, a talking point perhaps? Or maybe you just want your ring to really represent your personality? That’s where Thorum can help.

First up, we’re going to look at the amazing materials that you could choose for your band.

Before we begin, allow me to share a round-up of all the materials (which you can click to jump down) you are going to find out more about:

 

1. Wood

Wooden bands have been one of the most popular alternative wedding ring materials available. Owner and CEO of Thorum, Caleb Martin began crafting wooden bands back in 2012.

Wood is a lovely material, warm, soft and light. Its unique grain means every ring has its own special story.

 

2. Whiskey Barrel

If you or your soul mate are a lover of Whiskey, or you’d like a wood with history. Then a Whiskey Barrel ring may be perfect! These rings have deeper streaks and a really special feel.

 

 

3. Titanium

Titanium is hypoallergenic and requires no care or maintenance. This makes it a great metal for sensitive or working hands.

Titanium is also a strong, durable and lightweight metal. It’s important to note that Thorum only uses grade 5 6al-4v Titanium for their ring designs to ensure the best quality.

4. Meteorite

For a real statement, how about a meteorite wedding band? Gibeon Meteorite is the oldest material that Thorum uses – it’s around 4 billion years old.

This wedding band material is sure to light up space enthusiasts. Just imagine wearing such history every single day to remind you of the commitment of your marriage.

5. Antler

Thorum also make rings for men out of ethical, naturally shed antlers. Antler is a natural material which is sustainable and can vary in colour and markings. How wonderful to wear a real piece of nature, of which every piece is unique.

6. Ironwood

Lignum Vitae (Ironwood) means the “Tree of Life“. Ironwood is the hardest wood in the world, which makes it ideal for a strong wooden wedding ring. The grain of the wood is warm, evoking a soft and wave-like appearance. You won’t want to miss the Ironwood ring designs that Thorum create for their grooms.

 

 

7. Tungsten

Tungsten Carbide is a hard and durable metal that’s perfectly suited to a lifetime of wear. Thorum makes its Tungsten rings via a lost wax casting process in an industrial mould. This means the ring has no seams. Available in an array of colours too, from rose gold to matt black and grey. Wow!

8. Damascus

Damascus Steel makes for a really unusual wedding ring design.

Black Damascus has a unique grain pattern, this is because the steel is hammered folded over dozens of times. Thorum also PVD coat the Damascus Steel to ensure their rings last a lifetime without corrosion or fading.

9. Dinosaur Bone

Do you or your love have a fascination with dinosaurs or fossils? A dinosaur bone ring may be just the ticket.

Thorum uses genuine 65 million-year-old T-Rex bones as one of their materials and each ring even comes with an authenticity card. Every piece of dinosaur bone they use is sealed in a waterproof finish too. 

 

 

10. Ceramic

Ceramic is smooth, tactile and beautifully reflective.

Ceramic is a super durable and modern material for rings. Ceramic won’t scratch, scuff or fade over time and the colour is part of the material rather than a finish. Thorum makes the most beautiful black men’s wedding bands in Cereamic.

11. Carbon Fibre

Carbon Fibre is a material that is used in building spacecraft, bicycles, aircraft, cars and much more, thanks to its strength and lightweight composition. If you or your beau are into hobbies where Carbon Fibre is used, it may make the ideal wedding band.

12. Stainless Steel

Thorum has created a striking Stainless Steel band inspired by barbells. Strong, rustic and in a gunmetal grey, gym fans are sure to love this style.

 

 

13. Stone

Stones and gems can of course be included in men’s wedding bands too. In fact, Thorum has a wonderfully bold design which is inset with Arizona Turquoise in a bright blue strip. This would make a gorgeous men’s engagement ring.

14. Diamond Simulant

For an affordable diamond ring alternative, there are many options. Thorum’s King Ring uses Cubic Zirconia as their alternative of choice.

Cubic Zirconia is actually stronger than diamond and is flawless without imperfections too. Win-win!

15. Silicone

And last, but certainly not least, how about a silicone wedding band? Made from durable, medical-grade silicone, this is a ring material that is ideal for active lifestyles. Genius!

 

 

Matching Unique Women’s Wedding Rings

Crafted with the same care and love, these delicate and unusual bands are sure to allow your personality to shine.
