Modern Design, Classic Appeal
Stainless steel effortlessly combines a modern, masculine vibe with the sleek look of a traditional men’s wedding band. Whether you’re in jeans and a hoodie or a tailored suit, versatile stainless steel helps your men’s wedding band blend right in. It’s smooth and shiny like gold or platinum, but without the high price tag.You can find men’s stainless steel wedding bands in a wide range of designs, some more contemporary than others. From thick, matte black bands to thin, minimalist, gold-toned bands, stainless steel bands come in a range of designs. Some are nods to tradition, while others offer a bold new take on men’s bands, and still others blend contemporary vibes with classic touches.
Strength and Durability
One of the biggest selling points for stainless steel wedding bands: their durability. Stainless steel is resistant to scratches, dents, and corrosion, making it perfect for guys who work with their hands, have intense hobbies, or hit the gym frequently. While it’s always safest to remove your ring when cleaning, exercising, or doing strenuous activities, we understand that many guys won’t remember to take their rings off and put them back on throughout their busy days.Compared to softer metals, stainless steel holds up better under pressure. And believe it or not, gold is actually one of the softer options out there. In fact, wedding bands are almost never made from real gold because of how susceptible it is to scratching and denting. You’ll wear your wedding band every day for the rest of your life, so why not choose a wedding band that can withstand the challenges of your busy, active lifestyle?
Skin-Friendly
Because gold is soft and malleable, it is often mixed with other metals into something called an alloy. The alloys used to make wedding bands might include copper, zinc, and nickel, which can cause skin irritation for some. If you have sensitive skin, you might have a reaction to some of these metals, which can cause uncomfortable itching and redness.
Stainless steel, on the other hand, is hypoallergenic. That’s especially true for surgical-grade stainless steel, like the kind we use here at Robert Alton. No one wants their wedding band to bring them anything but positive feelings, so if you’re worried about a potential allergic reaction, then stainless steel is a good option.
Low Maintenance, Low Stress
Let’s face it: most of us aren’t going to polish our wedding ring every week. Stainless steel is a low-maintenance dream. You already have enough to do in your day to day life, from work to running errands to making time for family and friends. Don’t add another chore into your busy schedule. Stainless steel doesn’t require frequent or costly cleanings. It doesn’t demand regular polishes, like gold, and it isn’t vulnerable to tarnish, like silver.Instead, all you need to do to keep your stainless steel ring clean and shiny is to give it a simple rinse with soap and water. We recommend using a mild dish soap mixed into lukewarm water. Let your ring soak in a bowl of this solution for a few minutes, then rinse it off and wipe it dry with a microfiber towel. You can use a polishing cloth on it if you want, but it’s not required. If your ring ever gets very dirty, you may want to bring it to a professional jeweler for a deep cleaning. But for day-to-day life, the occasional, simple wash will suffice.
Affordability Without Compromise
Too often, we associate affordability with low quality products. In the case of stainless steel, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Stainless steel is considerably less expensive than gold or platinum, the other common metals used in men’s wedding bands. However, it is considered one of the strongest and most appealing metals available on the market.Stainless steel is so durable that it’s trusted not just for men’s jewelry, but for tools, specialized machinery, and high-quality equipment, including medical and surgical tools. It’s also attractive, known for having a luxurious look. Wear it with your finest business casual suit or even a formal tux–it’ll blend seamlessly into the ensemble. Its substantial feel will remind you of its high quality each time you slip it onto your finger.
Customization Options
Men’s stainless steel wedding bands come in an incredible range of designs. From bands with diamond inlays to bands with a hammered finish, bands in black or blue, and bands with unique textured features, you’ll have many varied options to choose from if you opt for a stainless steel wedding band.The possibilities are endless, especially when you consider the option of customizing your men’s stainless steel wedding band. Though stainless steel is extraordinarily durable, professionals can still engrave it using laser engraving techniques. Many people who choose stainless steel wedding bands choose to engrave them with names, initials, dates, coordinates, or even short quotes that mean something special to you and your partner.
Adding a personalized custom feature to your wedding band makes one of the biggest days of your life even more meaningful. It also ensures that you’ll always have an extra reminder of what makes your relationship unique and beautiful each time you look at your ring.
