In the old days, guys would pretty much get stuck with a wedding or engagement ring design because it was the best of the worst from the local jeweler's showcase. This meant having a 14ct yellow gold band with the wedding date and sometimes some initial engraved on the inside.

Now, however, any man can find a custom-made wedding ring to suit his style and personality. No longer do men have to have wedding rings that look like everyone else's.

Here are some ways you can customize a men's wedding ring if ordered through a skilled ring artisan.
The first level of customization is to go beyond the simple yellow gold wedding bands. White gold is a reasonable choice, but to really choose a state-of-the-art wedding ring, titanium is the best choice. Titanium is much lighter than any traditional wedding ring materials, and it is more likely to be more durable. Titanium is also hypoallergenic, which means it will not react to human skin or most corrosive substances. Perhaps the best thing about titanium wedding rings is that they are much more affordable than the other two common choices: gold and platinum.

Once you have decided on a ring material, consider looking for an artisan who can make a wedding ring with an inlay material. Options include inlaying gold, exotic hardwoods, minerals and precious gemstones (like diamonds). A ring with a wood or precious metal inlay is sure to become an object of envy wherever you go. Again, for the most affordable wedding rings for men with inlays, consider using titanium as the main band material.

A third way to customize your special ring is to choose the profile of the ring. Most rings have either a flat profile or a rounded profile or what is often called a "comfort fit". The rounded profile on a ring creates a ring that is smooth on the edges, which is infinitely more comfortable than a flat profile, which basically creates a harsh edge.

Finally, you can customize your men's wedding ring by having it engraved. Most jewelers can engrave rings and many will do it for free as part of the ring purchase.

Choosing a custom-designed wedding ring requires you to look beyond the pre-made rings you'll find at your local jeweler. Go online and you'll find rings that are custom-made to your exact specifications, guaranteeing that you'll have a ring that truly represents your style and personality.
