When it comes to choosing a wedding ring, men are often faced with fewer options—but that doesn’t mean the choice is simple. Your wedding band is something you’ll wear every day, so it should feel comfortable, reflect your personal style, and stand the test of time.
At April Dace Jewellery, each of our men’s wedding bands is handmade to order in our Norfolk studio. Crafted with care, our designs focus on subtle detailing, considered finishes, and timeless materials. Here’s a guide to help you find the right fit.
Metal Matters
The first thing to consider is the metal. Classic yellow gold is warm and traditional, while white gold or platinum offers a cooler, more contemporary look. For something with a softer, more subtle tone, 9ct or 18ct rose gold is an increasingly popular option.
Each metal has a different weight and feel. Platinum is naturally heavier and more durable, while 9ct gold offers a lighter feel while still very durable. If you’re unsure, think about what you might feel comfortable wearing day to day.
Shape and Finish
The profile of the band can completely change the feel of the ring. A court-shaped band, like our Classic Court Wedding Ring, is slightly rounded on the inside and outside, offering a smooth, comfortable fit. A flat court, on the other hand, gives a slightly more modern silhouette while still sitting comfortably on the finger.
You’ll also want to consider the finish. Our Hammered Finish Band has an unusual, raw texture for a more edgy look, while the Polished D Shape Band gives off a clean, reflective shine.
Something a Little Different
If you’re looking for a ring that stands apart from the traditional styles, our Chunky Hammered Wedding Band offers a more rugged, organic finish. Each mark is made by hand, meaning no two rings are ever exactly the same—a fitting choice if you want something a little more personal.
A Thoughtful Fit
All our wedding bands are made to order, which means we can tailor the fit and width to your preference. Whether you prefer a slimmer 4mm band or something wider and more substantial, we’ll help you find the shape that feels right on your hand.
If you have old pieces lying around—perhaps tucked away in a drawer or forgotten in a jewellery box—consider giving them a second life. Take a look through your collection, and if you’d like to discuss a bespoke creation of your own, feel free to get in touch.
Made to Last
Like any piece of meaningful jewellery, your wedding band should be made with intention. Each of our rings is handmade using solid gold or platinum and designed to be worn every day, for years to come. If you're unsure which style suits you best, we're always happy to talk through your options or arrange a ring sizing appointment.
