Finding That Special and Unique Wedding Ring For Men

 For years men had two choices for a black opal wedding rings. They could either have a yellow gold band or a white gold band. These limitations were, of course, due to the the fact that the choices many men had were limited to what they could find at the local jeweler. Men and women would select their wedding rings after catching a movie at the local mall.

The process of buying a men's wedding ring was uncomfortable for all. The local jewelry shop was a place with bright lights, attractive salespeople and was located in an open public space-hardly the kind of place where most men felt comfortable. It was impossible to know if the guy got a reasonable price, because all the he wanted to do was to get out of there and do something else.

Nowadays, the choices for men's wedding rings are limitless. While some many still prefer the simple 14 or 18 carat yellow or white gold band similar to what their father has, many men these days are seeking out unique rings.

One trend is platinum rings. These are very strong rings and will last forever. The down side is that they are very heavy and can therefore feel uncomfortable over a long period of time. Another issue with platinum rings is the cost. A simple platinum ring with a very basic design can cost up to a thousand dollars (or more).

Another option for those who seek a ring with a unique design is a titanium ring. Titanium is incredibly strong and lightweight. These two properties make for an excellent combination for rings. In addition, titanium is hypoallergenic, which means it will not react to human tissue. No other ring material is basically guaranteed to not cause allergies or skin irritations like titanium. Finally, titanium will not react to salt water or most other corrosive agents.

The designs available for titanium rings these days far exceed what can be found for other men's wedding bands. For example, titanium rings can be inlaid with exotic hardwoods like Koa, Cocobolo, Mango, Purple Heart and Black woods. These inlays create unique and stunning rings. Other popular inlay materials include Opal, Turquoise, carbon fiber, gold and diamonds.

Opal Engagement Rings - Is an Opal Ring Perfect For You?

Black opal wedding rings is some of the most exotic and eye catching jewelry you can wear. Opals flash with the colors of the rainbow trapped within a silica gemstone. The most valuable black opals appear as angry storm clouds passing behind a rain washed rainbow. No two opals are the same. The color play of each is totally unique. They are beautiful, porous, fragile, highly prized and steeped in myth and legend. They make stunning engagement rings. But is an opal engagement ring right for you?

After all, opals are unlucky unless they are your birthstone, right?

Not at all! Opals are the birthstone of October and the zodiac stone of Libra, and yet they are enjoyed, admired and worn by people with birthdays throughout the year without any apparent extra bad luck befalling them! So how did this myth arise?

Like all good stories, it started a long time ago, and in Europe.

Opals have been prized throughout time for their beauty and rarity and the late 19th century Europeans were no exception! The European opal market at that time was supplied by Hungary, although some also came from further afield in India and the Middle East. But all that changed in 1890 when a new supply of significantly better opals was discovered. These were Australian opals and the like of their fiery opalescence had never been seen before! To protect their market, the Hungarians claimed the new opals were fakes.

Sir Walter Scott, like all good writers, drew on the confused panic of the day. He wrote in a novel that opals brought bad luck to people not born in October. The cursed myth was born, and the European opal market spiraled into near destruction. Near disaster was only averted when Queen Victoria herself intervened by giving gifts of opal jewelry at a Royal wedding!

Today the cursed myth may have passed into legend, but the beauty of Australian opals remains for all to see. Black opals and the best white opals have significant fire and enough play of color to hold their own even when set alongside diamonds.
