Why should I care about a diamond in my mens wedding ring?

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Maybe you shouldn’t. Can you tell the difference by sight? Most people cannot. If you can’t then does it really matter? Many people think not. Give me a magnifying glass and I’ll possibly see the difference but most people don’t walk around looking for real versus fake diamonds with a magnifying glass - do they? So why does anyone care? Is it pride? Is it a search for perfection? Is it wanting to impress someone other than yourself - maybe even yourself?

My sense is that people buy a mens ring with a real diamond not because someone else might see and know the difference but that THEY know the difference. They have been conditioned (and I am not saying this is wrong) to want the best of everything … a Lexus, not a Toyota; an Infinity, not a Nissan; a Rolex, not a Timex. These products stand for something more than just a brand name or a look or a finish or a color or a driving experience.

And what might this be? We are looking to be loved and to be successful, to have a sense of purpose and worth in life. To many, this elusive search is somehow found and embraced through ownership - a Tungsten Ring with a real diamond from the Triton Ring Collection says something about their ability to be successful. They are somehow worth more not because the ring is worth more but because wearing an expensive ring says something about their ability to earn a good living, about their ability to succeed, about their ability to be supreme in their environment and on their job. Now there are other reasons but if few people can really tell the difference - then what does it really matter?

Here’s another reason people do it - they ARE successful and they need or want to maintain their image. How better to do so than to buy an expensive watch or ring or suit or car or house? By doing so - it validates what they appear to be in the eyes of their friends and associates and workers and family. Do you agree? Let me know…

Should your mens ring last a lifetime?

Friday, August 14th, 2009

A person really needs to pay attention to this question because it does not say “can” a mens ring last a lifetime, it says “should” a mens ring last a lifetime? With the newer materials being used these days, the answer to “can” is fairly straightforward. YES. Materials like the new tungsten rings are made for a lifetime and then some - they are durable and scratch-proof and as tough as nails. Even titanium and ceramic can do the same.

But the real question is not can but should. Should a mens rings last a lifetime or should a person look to change the style, the fashion, the contemporary appeal of their ring more often? Have you seen a old watch that looks like it should have been retired a few years (maybe decades) ago? Scratched, dented, crystal broken or faded or even full of moisture? Well, I have personally seen this sane phenomenon in rings that should have been retired a long, long time ago.

Now I realize the sentimental value argument but should this bear more weight than the eye-catching look? It begs the question when is the right time to look for a new one? My sense is that there is a fine balance that needs to be considered because obviously there are reasons for both keeping and retiring the ring. Maybe the best solution is to have along talk with whoever gave you the ring - a spouse or a significant other - being finalizing the decision.

Whatever happens, you will have at least made a value judgment and probably made the right decision for your circumstances. If you decide to look fresh again, I recommend you consider some of the newer online stores that offer huge selections at reduced prices. The Triton Ring Collection is my favorite!
