Men's Rings

A ring is the piece of jewelry you look at most yourself. In this collection you will find men's rings in silver-tone and gold-tone stainless steel and in 925 sterling silver, from a sleek Cuban ring to signet rings and iced out models.

Which ring suits you?

The Cuban ring carries the flat Cuban link all the way around and completes a set with a Cuban chain or bracelet, in silver-tone and gold-tone stainless steel. The iced out box ring and the Ice Blox ring are set all around with cubic zirconia on stainless steel. The moissanite tennis ring has a row of moissanite stones in 925 sterling silver, and the moissanite solitaire ring a single 5 mm stone. The signet rings have a flat face for engraving. The Cuban, box and Ice Blox rings come in sizes 7 to 11, the signet rings in 6 to 10, the moissanite solitaire ring in 5 to 9 and the moissanite tennis ring in 7, 8 and 9.

Signet rings

The signet ring is the classic men's ring: a wide band with a flat face. Originally a family crest was engraved into it to seal documents, hence the name. Our signet rings are engravable, so you can have initials, a date or a symbol put on them. Our guide explains what you can engrave on a signet ring and how much fits per width.

The right size

Our ring sizes 5 to 11 are US sizes; we do not stock half sizes. Measure a ring you already wear: place it on a ruler, measure the inner diameter in millimeters and look up that diameter in the ring size chart. Each size adds 0.8 mm: size 7 is 17.3 mm, size 8 is 18.1 mm, size 9 is 18.9 mm, size 10 is 19.8 mm and size 11 is 20.6 mm. For the steel rings, size 8 was our best seller over the past year, followed by 9. If you measure your finger directly, do it at the end of the day, because fingers swell slightly during the day. Choose the smallest size that still slides smoothly over your knuckle. With a wide band, such as the Cuban ring, an iced out ring or the box ring, go for the larger size when in doubt between two: a wide band touches more skin and sits tighter. With a signet ring or a ring with a stone, stay with the smallest size that slides smoothly over your knuckle, otherwise the face turns to the side.

Iced out and moissanite rings

Want a ring that catches the light? Choose an iced out ring: the box ring and the Ice Blox ring are set all around with cubic zirconia, and the moissanite tennis ring has a row of moissanite stones. Moissanite scores 9.25 on the Mohs scale against 8 to 8.5 for cubic zirconia and stays clear for longer. The moissanite solitaire ring with a single 5 mm stone is the most understated ring with a stone.

Which finger?

A signet ring is traditionally worn on the little finger of your non-writing hand; a Cuban or iced out ring suits the ring finger or the middle finger, where a wide band is most in proportion. Wearing two rings? Spread them over two hands or leave a finger in between. What each finger has traditionally meant is explained in which finger a man wears a ring on.

Material

A ring takes more knocks than any other piece of jewelry. Stainless steel is harder than silver, but steel scratches too with hard contact. The silver-tone steel rings are bare, polished steel with no coating: you can keep them on in the shower. The gold-tone steel rings and the 18K gold plated signet ring have a layer, and the moissanite rings a white gold plating: take those off before the shower and the gym. 925 sterling silver is a real precious metal and feels heavier, but it is softer and shows signs of wear sooner. Every ring comes off before the pool, because chlorine is harsher than shower water.

Pairing

Keep the color of your ring the same as your watch or bracelet on the same hand. A stone-set ring is best worn as the only stone-set piece on that hand, and a signet ring goes with almost anything because it shows a flat face instead of a link.

Care

A ring catches soap, hand cream and dirt faster than a chain. Brush stone-set rings gently now and then with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush, and take every ring off for DIY jobs and weight training: a bar or a hammer pushes a band out of shape sooner than you think.

A ring as a gift

With a ring, size matters more than with a chain or bracelet. Borrow a ring he already wears and measure the inner diameter; in doubt between two sizes, choose the larger one for a wide band. A signet ring with his initials is the most personal gift in this collection; allow one extra working day for the engraving.
