Men's Rings FAQS
We stock a small but growing selection of men's rings at Sterling& Wilde. We have listed some of the more popular men's ring styles below. If you're looking for something in particular that you cannot see on this page, we are always happy to source bespoke items. Please email us at hello@sterlingwilde.co.uk with your requirements.
Men's Band Rings
There's the obvious reasons for these: engagement or wedding! Our solid silver or gold men's rings are perfect for a special occasion such as an engagement or wedding. Wqually, a men's band ring is perfect as a fashion item to be worn daily for no other reason than it looks nice. We stock a select of men's band rings, and one of our favourites is our silver Celtic men's ring - an inexpensive and versatile ring, made entirely from precious metal.
Signet Rings for Men
Many, many years ago, signet rings were used to seal documents with wax, in lieu of a written signature. While they aren't used for such purposes today, they remain one of the more enduring and popular ring styles for a man. We stock signets in solid silver or solid gold, and you can have a round ring face, oval, square or gem set. A men's gold signet ring is a popular choice for engraving, especially monograms, or set with a hardstone like lapis, onyx or malachite. Our of our most popular signet ring is our men's silver Welsh feathers ring.
Men's Sovereign Rings
Technically we don't stock men's silver sovereign rings, as those ings hold sovereign coins. But we do stock a men's silver George coin ring which is very similar to a sovereign ring, and what most people mean when they search the term. This ring is 2.2cm wide, which is slightly smaller than a sovereign coin.
Men's Keeper Rings
Typically heavy and solid rings with an all over textured pattern that were popular in days gone by, when wealth wasn't sat in banks but invested in precious metals, worn and portable. The study and chunky keeper - or guard - ring is also thought to have been worn alongside wedding rings or other valuable rings, as a symbol of unity and crucially, to keep them in place. Especially when worn over gloves. We sell both a solid gold men's keeper ring and a solid silver men's keeper ring - both being very popular with our customers.
What size ring should I buy for a man?
This is really a 'how long is a piece of string' question, but we generally find men's ring sizes begin around the UK T and go all the way up to a UK Z. The best thing to do is order a ring measure online for a couple of pounds to slip over your finger. Your finger should be measured at room temperature, as size can vary when overly cold or overly hot. If you do happen to order the wrong size ring from us, fear not, as we have an excellent 30 day returns policy!
