Rose Gold Wedding Bands – Perfect For Your Man’s-Gagement

Rose Gold Wedding Bands, Part of a Loving Tradition

In our present culture it would be against the norm to see a married man who does not wear a wedding ring. In fact, most observers would admit that it’s expected, and appreciated by his loving partner, to let the world know he is off the market, and one half of a loving and committed relationship.

Would it surprise you to know that less than 100 years ago it would have been an oddity for the average husband and father to wear a wedding ring? It’s true, at that time jewelry was predominately for women, and men were confined to the decoration of their pocket-watch, perhaps one passed down to them from their father or grandfather. What changed? On December 07, 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked, and shortly after, the U.S. declared war, thus officially entering the global conflict now known as WWII. What effect could this possibly have on men wearing a wedding ring? When the men left for war overseas, their women wanted them to take something with them, as a reminder of their loved ones waiting back home. Even men who had already long been married were given wedding rings by their wives. Then, there were the countless young lovers who rushed to the altar before his being shipped out, exchanging rings with each other, she wearing his offering, and he too wearing her gift to him, that loving token of fidelity.

It was during this time period that rose gold wedding bands were beginning their re-emergence into popularity. Due to the war effort of the day, much of the supply of platinum and white metals were unavailable to jewelers, and mixed colored gold especially rose gold, became highly desirable to those who wished to wear the ring of their beloved, before they were taken away from them for perhaps years at a time.

From Wedding Bands to Man-Gagements

We can all appreciate the way time tends to alter what we consider to be normal and expected. The latest winds of change have brought the emergence of rose gold wedding bands as the perfect choice in man-gagement rings. I have to admit I was taken aback when I first heard of this trend. What is a Man-gagement anyway? Many modern and forward thinking individuals have expressed that it seems a little one sided for the women to be the only ones to get an engagement ring. An engagement ring holds the sentimentality of a promise for the future, of faithfulness and loyalty. An outward symbol of being off the market, even before the actual exchange of vows takes place. Men as well as women would like it to be known that he and she, are now to be considered unavailable, and that they are each part of something special, even while awaiting the big day.

Because of the romantic history surrounding the use of rose gold wedding bands, it is an obvious choice for this newest progression in engagement rings. There is quite a selection to choose from, whether your man desires a solid rose gold band, one with titanium or palladium inlay or perhaps a band with a diamond setting. A growing number of men are choosing to wear their future wedding band as an engagement ring on their right hand, then as part of the wedding ceremony, moving it to the left hand. There are however, many men who are choosing to have separate engagement and wedding bands for themselves all together.

Let Your Love Speak For You

There are few things as fragile and beautiful as your relationship with the one you hope to spend the rest of your life with. When making your selection of the ring that will be such a part of your future together, reflect on what you wish it to say about you as a couple. Talk to your partner and ask what he or she feels about the kind of tone you would like to set with your wedding bands. There are many choices to make, so consider the warmth and tenderness of rose gold wedding bands, and now adding to this discussion, the selection of his engagement ring as well. To get a good idea of what is out there, look at the variety of designs to choose from at www.titanium-jewelry.com/rose-gold-rings.html. Start your relationship and life together out on the right foot, with honest and open communication, and share your thoughts with each other regarding this latest trend of man-gagements.
