How to Choose a Wedding Ring (Type, Size, Fit, Shape)

About this video

McGoff provides a comprehensive guide to choosing a men’s wedding band, covering band types (classic, carved, diamond, alternative), materials (platinum, gold, palladium, titanium, silicone), sizing, width, fit styles, and profile shapes. He emphasizes that men should invest time in selecting a ring that suits their personal style and hand proportions rather than defaulting to generic options.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that men should prioritize comfort, fit, and personal style when choosing a wedding band rather than defaulting to a plain gold band
• McGoff recommends considering band width proportional to hand size—a narrower band is equally masculine and more affordable, contrary to jewelry store pressure for wider bands
• McGoff explains the spectrum of ring profiles from flat to domed, suggesting that a slightly curved middle-ground option balances classic and contemporary aesthetics
• McGoff notes that silicone rings are practical alternatives for active lifestyles or professions where metal rings pose safety risks
