Wedding bands are very specific type rings. For men, the wedding band is the most common piece of jewelry and for many - the only one. The comfortable wear of men's wedding band depends on many factors including the shape of one's finger. In order to be comfortable the wedding band must be "comfort fit". The thicker the wedding band the more generous the comfort fit and respectively the higher the price. Cheap wedding bands focus on the use of minimum amount of precious metal and have no room for comfort fit. In order to make their wedding band lighter some manufacturers leave them with seriously sharp edges. Other issues concerning the comfortable wear are related to specific wedding bands designs. The average thickness of low end 4mm men's wedding band is 1.5mm. Comfort fit becomes possible at about 2mm. thickness, while good quality high end wedding band should be 2.3 - 2.7mm. Some hard metals will wear off much faster than some softer ones with higher abrasion resistance. Palladium is 40% lighter than platinum and identical item cost +/- 4 times less making it the perfect wedding bands white media. The gold is the best (and the only) metal for these who prefer yellow wedding band and my opinion is that traditional 4.5mm 18k yellow band with well defined dome is the one that suits best most men. White gold wedding bands have low score in every segment of assessment.
