Design by Sign: Which Men’s Ring Suits Him Best?

Struggling to find a wedding band or fashion ring for him that truly suits his personality? Have you considered shopping by his sun sign? There’s no denying it – most men display at least some characteristics of their astrological sign, and each sign will tend to gravitate towards certain materials or styles. Here are designer men’s rings suggestions for every sign.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18). Fiercely independent yet loyal, thoughtful but sometimes tactless – Aquarius can be a sign of contradictions. Aquarius men are often sturdy and strongly built, and thus require a band with real strength. Registering an 8.5-9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, tungsten rings are incredibly tough. However, like a true Aquarius, they have an inherent contrariness – despite their strength, their brittleness means that they can crack if struck on a hard enough surface.

Pisces (Feburary 19-March 20). While imaginative and adaptable, the Pisces man needs a partner who can provide a foundation and strength in the relationship. Gold or silver designer men’s rings are ideal for a Pisces man: both are inherently soft in their pure form and need to be alloyed with a stronger material in order to be more durable.

Aries (March 21-April 19). Daring, courageous and enthusiastic – an Aries man is a force to be reckoned with! While he has a magnetic personality, he can also be forceful and impulsive. Most Aries men have a certain “bold” look, and are best suited to a similarly bold ring. Look for designer men’s rings with eye-catching designs for your Aries man – ones with a swirling mokume gane pattern are particularly fitting.

Taurus (April 20-May 20). Independent yet always dependable, a Taurus man is often considered to be a rock when it comes to relationships and friendship. Though sometimes clay-footed in their stubbornness, they can have a real appreciation for beautiful objects. Rose gold designer men’s rings are an apt choice for Taurus men – while gold is an always classic choice, the rose hue appeals to their aesthetic tastes and is reminiscent of copper, the Taurean metal.

Gemini (May 21-June20). As most women who have dated one know, Gemini men have two sides to their personalities: the exciting and energetic side, and the restless and impulsive side. Gemini men crave freedom and love change, and often are considered to have a “youthful” appearance. Argentium silver rings are an excellent choice for Geminis. While technically considered to be sterling silver, the addition of the metalloid germanium makes them more durable and tarnish-resistant, easily maintaining their “just purchased” look.

Cancer (June 21-July 22). A Cancer man is sensitive and loyal, but he can also be somewhat moody and clingy. He tends to have an expressive face that reflects his empathetic nature, but that also can be a window to the storm brewing inside. The sign of Cancer is associated with silver, somewhat of a temperamental metal itself. Silver men’s rings can show their wear rather easily and be sensitive with regards to what substances they come into contact with. For designer men’s rings that are a little more dependable (like you know he can be), try Argentium silver instead.

Leo (July 23-August 22). There’s no mistaking a Leo – confident and magnetic, but sometimes also vain and a little pretentious. Leos are often the life of the party and have no problem attracting admirers with their charming personalities and good looks. Gold is the metal typically associated with Leo men, which should come as little surprise. The only naturally occurring yellow metal, this precious metal knows that it is unique and sought after! Gold men’s rings are really the only way to go with Leos.

Virgo (August 23-September 22). Incisive, efficient and reliable – there is nothing imprecise about a Virgo. However, Virgo men can also tend to be cold and inflexible, which can sometimes put their partners off. Virgos love to be very clean and can be very picky about what they wear. For these very particular men, biocompatible and hypoallergenic designer men’s rings in materials like stainless steel, cobalt chrome or palladium are the best options.

Libra (September 23-October 22). The Libra man is all about balance and understanding the perspective of others, which can make him an ideal mate. Libra men are often physically attractive, so it’s unsurprising that they can also be a little vain. Cobalt chrome designer men’s rings are an ideal choice for the Libra man because they offer a similar balance of positive qualities: they’re attractive, well-priced, durable and hypoallergenic.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21). Dark and moody yet loyal and passionate, the Scorpio man is both complex and intense. A hypnotic and penetrating gaze often characterizes Scorpio men, and many feel that a Scorpio practically radiates power and masculinity. Steel very fittingly represents Scorpio historically. Stainless steel men’s designer rings are even available in his favorite color: black.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21). Idealistic, happy and social, the Sagittarius man is usually a joy to be around. However, his social leanings can also mean that he is flaky and somewhat averse to commitment. Ceramic designer men’s rings are the perfect pick for the Sagittarius guy: they’re attractive and pleasantly light to wear, but their inability to be resized means that they may not be worn forever.

Capricorn (December 22 –January 19). Supremely independent, the Capricorn man is hardworking and scrupulous but can also be stubborn to a fault. His perfectionist leanings can be reflected in his appearance; he often pays a great amount of attention to how he looks. Palladium is a great choice for a band for a Capricorn: it has the handsome white metal look of platinum, but can also be stubborn to cast due to its unusual nature.
