We have picked out the top five wedding band trends for men that are available online or in our Nashville showroom!

Alternative Metal Wedding Bands

One highly-coveted wedding band trend is utilizing alternative metals to create a unique design. Matte blacks are becoming more favored in men’s jewelry over recent years. This sleek black cobalt wedding band from Crown Ring reveals smooth, brushed finish. It looks matte against the skin and gives off a simple sophistication accented with a subtle edge. Anything but ordinary, this ring is ideal for the men who desire something different with a classic touch.

Multi-Metal Wedding Bands

Another men’s wedding band trend is the fusion of two metals with different colors or textures. This two-toned look is oftentimes used to match with his favorite watch or piece of jewelry. This Benchmark Ammara Stone Ring features high-polished yellow gold, contrasted by brushed grey tantalum. Aside from being versatile, this ring can be worn with a wide range of jewelry pieces. It has the classic look of yellow gold with a robust accent from brushed metal.

Customized Wedding Bands

Alternatively, the idea of custom designed rings are quickly becoming a fashionable choice when it comes to men’s wedding bands. King Jewelers has a great selection of men’s wedding bands that can be customized to fit your unique style. For instance, this gorgeous 18K white gold ring, embellished with breathtaking pave black diamonds is rich with extravagance. Each ethically-sourced diamond is round-cut and faceted to reflect light from all different angles. This ring is perfect for those men who enjoy the decadent glisten of black diamond jewelry.

Rose Gold Wedding Bands

Rose gold men’s wedding bands are quickly taking center stage in the fashion realm. Furrer Jacot has launched an exuberant series of men’s wedding bands incorporating 18K rose gold. This Furrer Jacot ring features brushed rose gold with carbon fiber detail. These contrasting metals look complimentary and modern against one another, exemplifying a sleek and elegant style.

Textured Wedding Bands

Lastly, the idea of multi-textured metals has made a drastic movement in wedding band trends for men as well. From high-polished, to brushed and hammered to engraved, pairing two textures against one another is a great way to ensure that your ring is unlike everybody else’s. This 18K yellow gold Furrer Jacot ring features 18K high-polished yellow gold against careful hammered details to demonstrate a more antique look.

To sum it all up, whether you are looking for a ring with rugged masculinity or regal decadence, King Jewelers is sure to have something to suit your style. These are the wedding band trends for men that we have been recognizing in men’s fashion and we hope that we can play a part in helping you find your dream wedding band.

Fall 2017 Bridal Trends

Posted on August 26, 2017 by Make Technology

Fall 2017 Bridal Trends

Today we’d like to discuss a few of Fall 2017’s most exciting bridal trends. Brides are looking to get back to basics this season- look for simpler settings, alternative gemstone center stones, and colored gemstone accents to dominate the bridal jewelry scene.

Say Goodbye to the Halo

Halo engagement rings (particularly featuring cushion shaped center stones) reigned supreme for years, but their popularity is slowly but surely ebbing away. For Fall 2017 and beyond, Solitaire engagement rings will be the hot ticket. Brides are looking for a more traditional, simple setting that will let their center stone shine. But don’t be fooled, a simple setting doesn’t mean a small ring! Most brides are looking at solitaires with large center stones, particularly pear shaped stones.

Something Blue

Brides are bringing the “something blue” tradition into their engagement rings and wedding bands with increasing regularity. Fancy shaped sapphire side stones provide a unique and beautiful accent to your center diamond. Sylvie, the engagement ring designed by a woman for a woman, allows brides and their partners to customize their engagement ring. Want the center stone to be a sapphire? They can do that! Saw an all-diamond engagement ring that you think would look even more beautiful if some of those diamonds were swapped for sapphires? No problem! Make your ring as unique as your love story. Talk to your sales associate about your wide range of Sylvie engagement ring customization options.

Mix & Match and Stack, Stack, Stack!

When you think of a ladies wedding band, you probably think of a ring that matches her engagement ring perfectly and sits as flush as possible against her engagement ring. For Fall 2017, look for brides to not only choose a wedding band that is a totally different style than their engagement ring, but to also choose a band designed to wear on their opposite hand! Many brides find that their desired wedding band is too wide and doesn’t sit as comfortably against their engagement ring as they’d like, so they’re choosing to wear these larger bands (or multiple smaller stacked bands) on their other hand.

All That Glitters is Gold

You probably remember your mother or grandmother’s jewelry drawer being filled with yellow gold baubles. The tendency towards yellow gold engagement rings died out in the 90s and was never quite at the same level of popularity… until now. Yellow gold jewelry not only compliments most skin tones, it makes for a beautiful contrast with many gemstones. Expect to see your friends sporting yellow gold engagement rings and wedding bands in Fall 2017 and beyond.

Slice of Paradise

Diamond slices and rose cut diamonds are slowly but surely taking over in both the bridal and fashion jewelry world. For the woman who wants something a little more natural and a lot more unique when it comes to her engagement ring, a diamond slice engagement ring is oftentimes the perfect solution. As an added bonus, diamond slice rings are often far more affordable than traditional diamond rings.

Jewelry Care: Rhodium Plating

Posted on June 23, 2016 by Make Technology

It’s All in the Details: Care For Your Jewelry Long-Term With Rhodium Plating

The decision to rhodium plate jewelry was born as a solution (no pun intended) to make precious jewelry as white and shinny as possible. To understand why you would need to make a piece of jewelry more white you must have a basic understanding of the most used material in fine jewelry manufacturing, gold.
The reality is that gold comes out of the earth yellow in color somewhere between 23k and 24k. As gold is very soft or malleable in its natural state it must be mixed with alloys to become strong enough to withstand the rigors of day to day wear as jewelry. The basic formula is 75% gold to 25% alloy for 18k gold and 58% gold to 42% alloy for 14k gold. To change the metal color from yellow to white it would require a larger percentage of white metal (in this case alloy) added to the yellow (gold). Because the amount of alloy is always less than the amount of gold it never becomes a true bright white.

Enter rhodium plating. Rhodium is a member of the platinum family and is one of the most precious and valuable metals. It is also resistant to corrosion and therefore a perfect metal to be worn against the skin. The jewelry industry uses rhodium primarily as a plating solution, adding a microscopic layers of the substance over platinum, gold, or silver to enhance the metal’s color to a bright white and prevent future tarnish.
Because the layer of rhodium is so thin the surface preparation is critical and will reflect any blemishes or discrepancies. Skilled jewelry craftsman must spend hours in the polishing process to ensure the item is perfect before going to a cleaning bath. The cleaning bath removes any foreign material left over from polishing to make sure the surface will accept the rhodium plating.
When properly executed the finish is enduring and a perfect reflection of the artist work.
