Sterling silver can be characterised as a metal that is whitish gray in colour. This metal is much cheaper than other metals such as platinum, gold and titanium. When you compare metals such as platinum, gold and titanium, silver tends to be much softer. It lacks the hardness that is present in the other metals. Silver is not the preferred choice for wedding rings, since it’s far more prone to oxidization when you compare it to the other metals. This is capable of causing the silver to turn black. However, silver wedding bands are favoured, if they are worn as dress jewellery, and worn rather sparsely, during weekends. Silver is not recommended as every day wear, for that reasons it’s not the preferred metal for a wedding ring.
Silver is also very vulnerable to scratches. Although gold is also capable of being scratched, silver is without a doubt, the most vulnerable to scratches. When you compare gold and silver, platinum and titanium tend to be far more resistant to scratches. However, it’s possible for you to re-polish a silver wedding band at any local jeweller. It’s recommended that you have your jewellery polished at least once every 12 months in order to ensure they look their best. Silver wedding bands for men come in a number of simple models, as well as a number of different designs. It’s possible for you to pick up one of these rings with a textured finish or engraving. An engraved or textured finish ring can help lessen the affects of scratches when the ring is worn.
