Proposing to your girlfriend or boyfriend is one of the most nerve-racking events a man will go through. Most guys spend a fair amount of time obsessing over engagement rings and trying to find the perfect one for their soon-to-be better half. But what about YOUR ring?
// Thanks to JamesAllen.com for sponsoring this video: mdst.mn/v-jamesallen //
I wear a 4mm Platinum, slightly curved, traditional fit wedding band in size 7.5. And if you have no idea of what any of that means, you will by the end of this video. We'll cover types of rings, materials (metals, etc.), size, shape, profile, fit and width. Let's get into it!

Thanks for the 'girlfriend or boyfriend ' in your opening paragraph. In Sweden, men and women also receive engagement rings. So it is very common to see married men with 2 rings on their left ring fingers.

@RikthDcruze 4 года назад

I just recently got into jewelry making and my friend recently got married and both he and his wife now wears 24k yellow gold (round cross section) wedding band made by me. My father wears a 24k gold (domed) wedding band also made by me. I'm no professional but making rings that people wear as a symbol of their love and commitment to eachother .... it's just very satisfying... oddly satisfying... even for the wearer ... even he/she knows that what they r wearing is not a mass manufactured stuff off a lifeless corporation's shelf. It has been personally made just for them by someone by hand.

I work in a pawn shop and I tell people all the time that we'd rather you go to the competition than to go to Kay's or Jared's. Your money will go much further. Stuff at pawn shops - if they're reputable - have jewelry cleaned and polished to look brand new and cost a fraction of the price!

@coxdevj 3 года назад

I'm really glad you made this video! The ring you have on is exactly what I have in mind as well. I appreciate the in depth look at the profile of the rings as a lot of us guys wouldn't think or know to consider those characteristics of the different profiles for everyday wear.

@coxdevj 3 года назад

I am curious though, how well it's held up since this video was uploaded. Do you feel it scratched up and dulled quickly? Do you know what other alloy it's mixed with? I've been researching and apparently some platinum rings are mixed with softer metals than others.

@GiselleGauthier 5 лет назад

This video came too late for my wedding, but the plain white gold band worked out pretty well for me. Especially since it was made by my mother-in-law's friends who are jewelers!

Brock, great job 👍, you put out some great, useable information for those looking to purchase that special ring that should be worn forever AND nicely used your sponsor (other RU-vidrs should take a lesson from this). PS: a good jeweller who wants to please their customers should provide them with the same information you just provided here in this video - mine jeweller did over 25 years ago.

Thank you so much for this helpful video! Also, I really appreciated the way you delivered it-you spoke calmly, in a well modulated voice, and at a very good audio level. I like your friendly but "sensical" way of speaking, rather than acting silly or trying to sound "clever", like a lot of these types of videos come out! I am a widow who has always loved rings, & I have a traditional 14k yellow wedding set (.66tcw) which I take good care of, & various yellow & rose gold, & silver bands which I wear in place of my diamonds. But I also want to take good care of them, too. So I have a small collection of stainless steel & and 3 tungsten rings which I am waiting for. They are ionically plated with various colors of gold. For when I am doing serious grocery shopping, food prep, laundry, etc. I was wondering about silicone, for when I am doing my man friend's stacked up dishes, etc. I appreciate your opinion of silicone rings, bc they did not sound too appealing, but I can see a place for them when I do really serious work. So I think I will pick up on one. I do like comfort fit domed rings. Different widths. Thank you again!!

@sweetangel3108 5 лет назад

I proposed to my hubby first actually. On the beach in Cayocus His is an alternate tungsten band, deep slate grey, craved edge and an engraving on the inside of the band, it reads “for all eternity” in a lovely old English script. I’m very particular and artsy so I wouldn’t stand for something so plain for the character that is my hubby. He loves it- he noted that it was a perfect fit (I remembered his size from over a year prior lol)

I'm in the UK and need to get sized for a comfort fit ring I am buying from the US. Its a 6mm band and I was wondering if I should adjust my size for the comfort fit? I have read somewhere that for 6mm you should just order your regular size but for 8mm and above you should go a half size down but I wasnt sure if that is correct or if the half size is talking in US or UK terms.

@Danielle-nz9tn Год назад

Does it really take 10-15 years for the rhodium to fade/rub off from a rhodium-plated white gold ring? I just recently read that they usually need re-plating after only 12-18 months. I really want to understand this, because I just spent nearly all day looking for the right ring for my fiancé since the one we found that he likes a lot isn’t made with platinum, and we don’t want to have to re-plate it every 1-2 years. Thanks for the helpful video!

Is this normal? I do have a wedding band that I wear and if I do decide to go with a silicon replacement for work, should I get the exact size?

Sounds like it's too small. It definitely should not cut off circulation!

@MrTAT275 Год назад

The rarest and most precious of all materials is not gold or platinum like you might expect, but a metal you’ve possibly never heard of: tantalum. There’s a good reason for this. Tantalum is the rarest stable element in our entire solar system, with just one atom of tantalum for every 181 billion atoms of other elements.[1] That makes tantalum far less abundant than gold, or any of the traditional precious metals.[2] In addition to its scarcity, tantalum possesses noble qualities that elevate it from all other metals when it comes to watchmaking and jewellery. Perhaps foremost amongst these is tantalum’s incredible durability in its pure, unalloyed state.

@Poppy999 Год назад

I got a 14 kt gold domed wedding band.Its simple and beautiful. I think if you get gold and it looks like you have worn it for years don't look like you trying to impress people. Also the sizing is more important then anything get it sized right wear it like a second skin. Looks beautiful.

Can you explain more on the durability? You explained bout the white gold having to fade after 10-15 years, what about the platinum? And which scratches easily? dents?

Platinum is harder than gold, so it will be more resistant to dents, although it will fade over time like all metals.

Rebecca Alexander maybe just ask him? I know proposals are all about that “surprise” but it should be something you’ve long discussed so you know you’re both on the same page for your life path?

A 6mm or something would be much better I got white gold and diamonds in mine. I’m thinking about doing a trade for anything that’s a 6mm ring just to ditch this.
