9Carat Gold Rings for Men

Accessorise in Style with Men's 9k Gold Rings

More and more men these days are choosing to wear rings in addition to, or instead of, a wedding ring. And with so many rings out there that are designed for men, now is a great time to start shopping if you've ever wanted to wear one. eBay has hundreds of men's 9k gold rings available, and for amazing prices.

There are as many types of men's 9k gold rings as there are types of men who like to wear them. Men's rings tend to be chunkier in design than women's 9k gold rings, and heavier in weight. Men's gold rings are also generally more masculine in appearance. Some have ornate designs carved into them, and some have precious or semi-precious stones set into them. Others are simple plain bands like wedding bands. Here are a few ideas for men's rings that you might want to think about purchasing:

• Football club rings: Wear one of these to show your allegiance to your favourite club.
• Sovereign rings: These are made with real or faux sovereign coins.
• Signet rings: These can be engraved with a person's initials or a family crest.
• Keeper rings: These were traditionally used to keep more valuable rings from slipping off the hand.
• Puzzle rings: These look great and are good for fidgeters, too.

Some people think that wearing rings on different fingers has different meanings, but it really just comes down to your personal comfort and preference. If you are unused to wearing rings, try starting out with a ring on your little finger (also known as a pinky ring). This is likely to be easier to get used to, as it won't get in your way. You'll be in good company if you do this, too - Prince Charles wears his signet ring on his little finger.

9k gold rings don't need much in the way of looking after. They do tarnish a little bit over time, so if you want your ring to look great, invest in a gold polishing cloth. These are fairly inexpensive and easy to use - just use one to dry polish the ring whenever it looks a little bit dull. You should take off your men's 9k gold ring in the shower, too. The water won't damage it, but it will take away some of the shine, meaning you will have to polish it more often.
