Frequently Asked Questions About Men’s Wedding Bands
What types of men’s wedding bands does Ex Aurum offer?
Our collection includes classic gold wedding bands, domed and flat profiles, polished and satin finishes, two-tone gold rings, textured designs and modern tungsten bands. Available styles range from understated traditional rings to wider and more distinctive contemporary designs.
What metals are available for men’s rings?
Selected rings are available in 14K yellow gold, 14K white gold, two-tone gold and tungsten carbide. The available metal, finish and width vary by design, so review the individual product page for exact specifications.
Should I choose a gold or tungsten wedding band?
Gold is a traditional precious metal that can often be resized, refinished and repaired by a jeweller. Tungsten carbide is highly durable and scratch-resistant, but its hardness means that it generally cannot be resized. Your choice should reflect your preferred appearance, budget, lifestyle and long-term sizing needs.
How do I choose the right wedding-band width?
Narrower bands generally have a subtle, lightweight appearance, while wider bands create a more substantial look on the hand. Finger length, hand size, ring profile and personal comfort should all be considered. Trying several widths in person is the best way to determine which proportion feels right.
How should a men’s wedding band fit?
The ring should feel secure without being painfully tight. It should pass over the knuckle with slight resistance and sit comfortably at the base of the finger without spinning excessively. Because finger size can change with temperature and time of day, professional sizing is recommended before ordering.
Can a men’s wedding band be resized?
Many gold wedding bands can be resized, although eligibility depends on the design, construction and amount of adjustment required. Tungsten rings cannot normally be resized because of the material’s extreme hardness. Confirm your size carefully before ordering a tungsten band.
Can I add engraving to my wedding band?
Selected Ex Aurum wedding bands include complimentary engraving. Initials, a wedding date or a short personal message can add meaning to the design. Available character limits and engraving positions may vary according to the ring’s width and material.
Can Ex Aurum create a custom men’s wedding band?
Yes. Ex Aurum can modify selected designs or create a custom wedding band based on your preferred metal, width, profile, finish and personal details. Custom gold rings can be developed through the Ex Aurum atelier in Montreal.
How should I care for a men’s wedding band?
Remove your ring before heavy lifting, construction work, contact sports or handling harsh chemicals. Gold bands can be cleaned with mild soap, warm water and a soft brush, while tungsten rings should be cleaned according to the product-care instructions. Periodic professional inspection and refinishing can help maintain the ring’s appearance.
Can I view men’s wedding bands in person in Montreal?
Yes. Visit the Ex Aurum showroom at 620 Cathcart Street, Suite 300, in downtown Montreal to compare metals, finishes, widths and ring sizes. Contact the showroom before visiting if you would like to confirm that a particular design is available to view.
