How to Pick Men's Rings that Actually Suit You

Men's rings are one of the highest-searched jewelry items online, yet they’re often the last thing men add to their collection. Why? Because the internet is overflowing with options, but little information on how to actually choose the right one for you. The truth is, they're much simpler than you think. So whatever answer you're looking for, you're in the right place. In the next few minutes, you'll leave here knowing exactly which type of ring you want, whether that's one from us or another brand that caught your eye. 

5 Tips For Choosing the Perfect Ring

Below, you'll find 5 essential things to consider before making your next purchase. Remember though, these are just pointers. When it comes to men's rings or mens jewelry full stop, there are no wrong choices, only opportunities to build and invest in a durable and versatile collection.

Consider Your Personality

Before you invest in any ring, take a moment to reflect on your personality. What kind of impression do you want to make? If you have a strong and assertive personality, statement signet rings and other bold pieces are the way to go. In contrast, if you’re more laid back and prefer a more understated style, a couple simple bands might be just what you need to subtly enhance your look.

Experiment With New Ring Styles

While it's always a good idea to consider your personality when choosing your rings, it's also important to ensure that you're not holding yourself back. Keeping an open mind and experimenting with different looks can help you discover new aspects of your style and yourself that you didn't even know existed. Remember, men's jewelry can also be a tool to push your boundaries. If you find a statement ring that intrigues you but you're hesitant about, always give it a try—you might surprise yourself.

Match Your Rings to Your Outfit

Before you don a bold statement ring or an everyday band, take a step back. Look at your entire fit from a bird's eye view. What’s the occasion? Are you channelling a casual streetwear vibe, or are you dressing up for a formal event?

Consider every element of your outfit, from your hat to your shoes. Then, select rings that will enhance and complement the vibe you’re already projecting. Alternatively, you could reverse the process: start with the rings you feel drawn to that day and build your outfit around them to create a cohesive look.

Once you've selected rings that match your personality and overall style, it’s time to arrange them. Instead of randomly placing them on your fingers, experiment with different combinations across multiple fingers to discover the setup that best compliments your outfit. A balanced approach like wearing two rings on one hand and one on the other often works perfectly—this is known as the 2-1-1 rule. You can learn more about the 2-1-1 rule and get tips on how to style your rings alongside bracelets and watches here.

Invest in Both Gold & Silver Rings

Most people think you should pick one type of metal and stick with it, but this is a massively missed opportunity. It's not about just choosing one metal and committing exclusively; a strong, versatile, and well-rounded collection will include a mix of metals. Why? Because different metals complement the tones of various colours in your outfits.

Once you've found your staple silver rings for example, getting them in gold and even rose gold should be your next move. This approach allows you to create all-silver or all-gold looks, while also giving you the flexibility to mix and match according to your mood or the occasion. 

Enjoy Your Rings For a Lifetime
