A ring you will still be wearing in thirty years
Most men who come in are buying one ring to wear for thirty years. Buying one ring is a different problem from buying jewelry, and widths are best tried on in person.
What men come in for
In roughly this order.
- A wedding band
Comfort fit, in a width and finish that suits the hand and survives real work. See wedding bands.
- An engagement ring, quietly
Often without knowing the ring size, and often on a deadline. Both are solvable. See ring sizing.
- Resizing something inherited
A father’s or grandfather’s ring, resized to fit and worn again.
- Repairs that were put off
Often for years. Usually a faster fix than expected.
Width changes the fit
Men get this wrong online more than anything else, and right in person more easily than anything else.
- A wide band fits tighter
At the same nominal size. Try the width you want before settling on a number.
- Comfort fit
A rounded inner edge changes how a band feels over a day. Worth feeling the difference.
- Hands change
Heat, work, and time. Resizing is routine.
Where to start
There is no men’s shelf here to browse. A band for a man’s hand is made to order, in the width and finish decided at the counter.
