We've always admired those gents who, when choosing a wedding ring, opt for different looks. You know, those guys who maintain their individuality even as they set out to create a couple. What is it about gay men going full-on traditional and having the same band? Men and women don't, what with all those diamonds, so why are we doing so? (For all those fellas who do wear the same wedding band, we love you, just the same!)

Well, thanks to our friends over at Manly Bands, the days of matchy-matchy rings are a thing of the past. Here's why: 

1- They've designed all their bands to come in two widths. So, if there is a style you love, but one of you takes a thicker band, but the other has perhaps a daintier digit, then he can have the thinner one. 

2- Many of the collections in their range are designed to stand alone, but pair well together. You know, different rings that play nicely in the sandbox. Go have a look for yourself at Manly Bands' Couples Collection. We are a little bit partial to the Poet & the Whiz or the Gentleman & the MVP, not only for the chic looks, but also for the images the names of these bands conjures up! 

3- Their range of materials and designs is so varied and interesting that you couldn't possibly limit yourself to just one "look!" While Manly Bands delivers bands of gold and rose gold, as you'd expect, but they bring it with tungsten and wood and even Gibeon meteorite!! 

Now that we've piqued your interest, let's draw your attention to our Manly Band's 101 article. It will get your ready for shopping for your manly band!
