Men's Unique Gemstone Rings

Let's be honest: you're probably not as interesting as you think you are. But your ring? That could be interesting. A gemstone ring is the wingman you never knew you needed. They make you look good without trying too hard.

But don't worry, these aren't the delicate little sparklers your grandma wore. At Manly Bands, our gemstones can handle real life. Whether you're doing manly things like... I don't know, chopping wood or filing your taxes, these gems can take it. They're practically begging you to try and scratch them. Go ahead, give it your best shot.

Rock Stars: Manly Bands' Gemstone Ring Collection

Whether you're looking for durability, flash, or a stone that can't make up its mind, we've got you covered. From mixed metals to unconventional materials like our whiskey barrel rings, we offer a wide range of options to suit every style. Let's break down Manly Bands' roster of gemstone rings.

For the uninitiated: Gems are ranked on the Mohs scale, from 1-10. It's basically a way of saying how likely your gem is to survive a night out with your college buddies. The higher the number, the tougher the stone.

  • White Diamond: The overachiever of the gem world. Men's diamond bands are a 10 on the Mohs scale, which is probably higher than your high school GPA. Bright, tough, and about as subtle as a peacock at a funeral.

  • Black Diamond: For when you want to tell the world, "I'm mysterious, but I still shower regularly." It's the bad boy of the diamond world without the commitment issues. Same hardness as its lighter cousin, but with a lot more brooding.

  • Blue Sapphire: The multitasker of the gem world. It's tough, it's blue, and it's probably smarter than you. Coming in at a 9 on the Mohs scale, it's like that annoyingly competent coworker who makes you look bad without even trying.

  • Emerald: Emerald is the sophisticated choice for men who know the difference between sage and chartreuse. A respectable 8 on the Mohs scale, it's tough enough for daily wear but still needs a bit of TLC. Kind of like your ego.

  • Ruby: Red, bold, and hard to ignore. Like that regrettable tattoo you got in college, but classier and easier to explain to your in-laws. And at 9 on the Mohs scale, it's tougher than your excuses for skipping leg day.

Choosing Your Sparkly Sidekick: A Guy's Guide

Picking a gemstone ring is like choosing a sidekick for a buddy cop movie. You need the right partner for the job. Here's how to nail it:

  • Consider your daily grind: If you work with your hands, go for tougher gems like sapphires or diamonds.

  • Complement your delusions: Think you're James Bond? White diamond. More of a Batman type? You can't go wrong with black diamond.

  • Think about color: Choose a gem that complements your wardrobe, or better yet, your eyes. Chick flick moment, anyone?

  • Size matters: Bigger isn't always better. Unless it is. You do you, buddy.

  • Budget wisely: Remember, you're not just buying a ring; you're investing in a conversation piece that'll last longer than most of your Netflix binges.

Maintenance: Because Even Tough Guys Need TLC

Your gemstone ring is tough, but it's not invincible. Here's how to keep it looking sharp:

  • Give it a bath: Warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. It's like a spa day for your ring.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals: Your ring doesn't need to help you clean the bathroom.

  • Store it safely: A soft cloth or a dedicated ring box. Not your jeans pocket, you animal.

  • Regular check-ups: Like you (should) do with your doctor, get your ring professionally cleaned and checked once a year.

A unique gemstone ring isn't just a piece of jewelry; it's a statement. It says you're not afraid to stand out, that you appreciate the finer things in life, and yes, that you're officially off the market (sorry, ladies). So go ahead, pick your poison, and let your finger do the talking.

Who Is Manly Bands?

Meet John and Michelle, the husband and wife team who started Manly Bands out of their garage in 2016.

After having a horrible experience finding John's wedding band with limited sizes, boring options and an awful customer experience, they set out to change the ring industry and make the most badass bands for every hand.

Fast forward to now, and we've got a team of people dedicated to pushing the limits of what can fit in a ring. Our mission? Help every man (woman, and yes, even alien) find a wedding band that's more exciting than their weekly grocery store trip.

So whether you're a rugged outdoorsman looking for a wood ring to match, a sci-fi fanatic in search of a geeky band, or just a guy who appreciates a good ring, we've got something for you among our men's wedding band finishes. Because let's face it, if you're going to be married forever, you might as well have a ring that's as awesome as you think you are.
