Are Silver Rings for Men Becoming More Popular than Gold?
It's hard to imagine any metal being more popular for men's rings than gold, but when it comes to fashion jewelry, silver rings for men have been selling at an impressive clip. According to some retail insiders, silver is already outpacing gold in many categories.
Anyone who pays attention to men's fashion as much as I do will tell you – men's taste in jewelry and clothing is about as predictable as the Chicago Cubs not winning the World Series. That's why it's always a bit shocking when a new trend actually "sticks". But many types of silver rings for men have begun to surpass gold rings in "number of units sold", so it's clear that something radical is happening in the world of men's rings.
When silver rings for men first became popular, they were only available in a few traditional styles, none of which were very memorable. But in today's jewelry marketplace, it is quite common to see silver rings to match the individual tastes of any man. There are silver rings for men to celebrate their national heritage, silver rings for committed relationships, silver biker rings, silver tribal rings, silver Christian rings, shank rings, and hundreds of handsome gemstone rings made from silver. Never before has there been such a wide variety of men's rings made from sterling silver.
There are a few important reasons why silver rings for men are so popular these days, and not all of them have to do with the characteristics of the metal. Sure, sterling silver is usually 92.5% pure, requires very little upkeep, and looks great in many styles, but recent trends suggest that its increased popularity is more about economics than personal preference. For example, it is easy to find a great selection of silver rings for men below $100, and many popular styles are less than $50. In this economy, the smart money goes with silver.
Gold, on the other hand, has been going up in price for the past several years. As the dollar shrinks in value, gold prices usually rise, and this translates into higher prices for gold jewelry as well. While it may still be the "gold standard" for wedding bands, white and yellow gold are facing fierce competition in the wedding band marketplace.
The recent introduction of durable, industrial-strength metals like tungsten, titanium, stainless steel and cobalt have caused gold to lose some ground as a wedding band metal. Silver rings for men are another popular option for alternative men's wedding rings, and don't forget the ever-popular platinum and palladium. These metals are sturdy enough to stand up to a man's active lifestyle, and most of them are hypoallergenic and resistant to scratches and dents.
Another key factor today is color. Just like women, men have started to move away from yellow gold or gold plated rings. The most popular metals for today's man are the whiter metals, which look better against all skin tones and match up well with stainless steel watches and other silver-toned jewelry.
Are <a href="http://www.justmensrings.com/menssilverrings.asp">silver rings for men</a> more popular than gold? It depends on the type of ring you are buying, but the price of silver makes it much more attractive than white gold or platinum, and most retailers indicate that sales of silver fashion rings are skyrocketing.
