“In sickness and in health, till death, do us part.” We’ve all heard that before; it’s a vow that could easily echo through eternity. It is a promise between man and woman to love each other forever, all immortalised by wearing the rings that will bind them for a lifetime. Wedding rings are probably the most solemn and intimate part of the ceremony, not just because of their monetary value as jewellery but rather because of the symbolism they carry. Wearing one isn’t just an accessory that you flaunt, but rather a reminder of the responsibility you must carry to love and care for your wife unconditionally for the rest of your life.

So obviously, you need to take extra good care of that ring and wear it heartily. But if you’re going to wear one for the rest of your life, you need one that is comfortable. However, it’s never that easy to choose one. Because if you promised to love each other forever, you better make sure that ring will also stand the test of time on your finger. Luckily, there are men’s wedding rings in Melbourne that can be the right fit for your wedding day and your life together. Although before you get into that, stick around and see what you need to look for when it comes to comfortable wedding rings.

Durability: since you’ll be wearing that every day of your life, you’ll have to consider that your ring will also be exposed to the various elements of your work environment. If your job requires a lot of manual labour or will involve your hands being dipped into various chemicals or elements, then it’s highly pivotal to choose a ring that can endure these harsh conditions, just as it will endure your everlasting love with your wife. The best materials to ensure a study wedding ring are platinum and palladium; they’re not only durable but also good for the skin.

Avoid Gold: Your skin can be very sensitive to a lot of chemicals, and many tend to forget that certain metals can be dangerous to the skin, especially if you’re exposed to them on a regular basis, and one of these harmful metals is gold. Although not everyone is allergic to this, many people tend to have a negative reaction to it and develop awful rashes or itches. This is especially the case if the gold ring contains nickel and copper. So, if you’re the type to have sensitive skin, avoid these at all costs.

Inside: the inside  and sides of your ring is probably the most important; make sure it has a comfort fit where the edges are curved to avoid peeling or scratching the skin. Avoid concave rings, as they have a tighter fit and tend to scrape the surrounding area. Flat cuts are also a cause for concern but can be mitigated by careful filing of the edges to avoid scrapes.
