Mens Sterling Silver Rings – Which Styles Are Hot This Year?

Being someone who is immersed in the world of jewelry, I am often asked for advice on which styles are the "hottest" in every imaginable type of men's and women's jewelry.  While I hesitate to tell people what to buy – after all, it is a matter of personal taste – I will say I've noticed one trend in men's jewelry this year.  Men's sterling silver rings are selling like crazy! 

It used to be that if you were buying a men's ring, you were either engaged to be married or replacing a lost wedding ring.  That was about it.  But today's men are much more into expressing themselves through jewelry.  Not just any jewelry, mind you, they are specifically interested in rings.  One explanation for this might be that men are still pretty conservative at heart, especially when it comes to wearing jewelry, and rings don't jump out at you as much as necklaces and bracelets.  They seem to "belong" on a man's hand just as much as a watch belongs on his wrist.  Plus, they are available in a nice selection of masculine-looking styles.

 

After reviewing some of my favorite men's jewelry web sites, I have come up with what I believe to be the "hottest" men's sterling silver rings on the market right now.

 

In no particular order, they are:

 

• The Three Rope Spinner Ring: This sterling silver ring features woven strands of silver that come together in an intricate pattern, all of which rests atop a spinning outer band.

 

• The Celtic Lionhead Band: Featuring two opposing lion heads, with mouths wide open, this design weaves an iconic Celtic pattern against antiqued black background.

 

• The Benchmark Sterling Silver Wedding Band: Available in multiple widths, this best selling men's sterling silver ring is most popular in a 10mm style that is highly polished and engraved.

 

• A Silver "Puzzle" Claddagh Ring: An unusual take on the classic Claddagh, this ring comes apart when it is not being worn but looks perfectly solid on the finger.

 

• Men's Turquoise Shank Ring: Men don't wear a lot of gemstones, but when they do turquoise is always a favorite, and a shank ring has a sculptural look that complements large hands.

 

• Polished Lug Nut Ring: Perfect for the man who likes to work with his hands, this highly polished ring has the shape of a lug nut on top but it is rounded on the palm side.

 

• Sterling Silver Dragon Spinner: Another favorite among sterling silver men's rings is the dragon spinner ring.  These edgy men's rings are often worn as biker rings.

 

• Sterling Silver Celtic Weave Ring: The Irish have cornered the market on ring designs for men, and the intricately designed Celtic weave pattern is another favorite.

 

As for the reason why men's sterling silver rings are so popular, I would imagine it is a matter of sheer economics.  Men can buy a sterling silver ring for a lot less money than just about any other metal, and still be confident they are wearing a high quality ring.

 

The best <a href="http://www.justmensrings.com/menssilverrings.asp">men's sterling silver rings</a>  are made from 92.5 percent silver by weight, which is the same quality as the silver jewelry sold at Tiffany's.  The remaining 7.5% is made up of other metals, usually copper, but other metals have been known improve the overall quality of silver.  These include metals like zinc and platinum, both of which increase tarnish resistance while eliminating firescale and porosity.

 

To sum this up, if you want to know what's hot in men's jewelry, look no further than men's sterling silver rings.  Also be sure to check out some of the styles mentioned above, and make sure you buy .925 silver.
