If there’s anything that we men want, it’s getting the most out of our money. We don’t care about the frills of products; we want things that endure, that are useful, and if possible, we want them cheap. This article will give you some guidelines for finding mens cheap wedding rings.

The most important factors to consider in men’s wedding rings are:

1.Price
2.Durability

Unlike women, we won’t stare at our rings every day during the first month of marriage and attach sentimentality and warm fuzzy thoughts to the wedding ring. It’s there for practical reasons: to show that we’re taken. Basically, it’s to show other women you are off the market.

With that in mind, here are the best places to stake out that symbol of permanent couple-dom. You don’t have to move from your comfy seat. Cheap, quality goods are just a few clicks away.

According to theknot.com’s Lori Seto, for durability, “choose platinum over gold; avoid matte finishes (which show scratches), decorative details (easy to blunt after repeated knocks), and gemstones (which can chip, fall out, or trap dirt); and go ergonomic.”

Ergonomic basically means it is built for comfort. Another thing to look for is for a round inside as opposed to a flat inside. (The ring will be more comfortable if the inside is somewhat concave to snuggly fit the finger and it will be less likely to fall off.)

Here are some of the best stores with great prices:

E-weddingbands.com - This site has a good variety of platinum bands. Look for comfort-fit. You’ll appreciate wearing a comfort-fit style years down the road. Here, platinum bands start around the high hundreds.

Weddingbands2buy.com - This site has platinum wedding bands from $175-$614. The thinner the band, the less expensive the price. This site shows how much you would normally be paying versus how much you would pay at their discount rates. Great for our money saving mentality.

Most platinum, ergonomic wedding bands for men are priced above the $300 mark, but it’s worth it for something that you’ll want to keep for a lifetime.

If you don’t mind used goods, another option is to buy a great quality used band. It’s better to buy a cheap good quality used ring than an expensive bad quality new ring. No one is going to ask if it was used or new. Just because the ring meant the end of another man’s marriage doesn’t mean it can’t be the beginning of yours. Your wife might not agree, but that’s why the saying is “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.”

You can look for used rings by doing a search on ebay, trying local jewelers, and scouring pawn shops. Make sure you search for platinum bands.

Lastly, make sure you know your ring size because ordering online will require this information. You can go to a local jeweler at any mall and find out your ring size. And don’t worry, your guy friends are never going to ask to see the ring. Your wife’s bling bling will be on showcase, not yours, so opt for durability (platinum), comfort-fit (ergonomic), and a good price (online or used).
