It’s all about flexibility and personalisation nowadays – that’s the exact reason trends like flexible working conditions are taking off with such speed?
And your wedding ring is no different in this regard!
Your wedding ring is one of the few constant reminders of your marriage. Apart from your beautiful new life partner, what else will you look at more than the ring on your finger?
So make sure that the choice you make is a carefully considered one.
You want your wedding ring to be perfect in every way possible. And if this means adding a personal or individual touch to the creation of your wedding band – we encourage this at Dora.

You aren’t just stuck with what’s in the catalogue anymore!
Your relationship is unique, and deserves a ring that reflects that uniqueness!
All DORA rings are made to order, and therefore can be customised to meet your individual sense of style.

How DORA can customise your wedding ring
Since 1994 we’ve been combining the finest gold, platinum, palladium, titanium and diamonds to create rings that unite modern design with timeless style, and which marries the latest technology with true hand craftsmanship.
Our recommendation is to sit down with your local jeweller (make sure they’re a DORA stockist first, of course) and discuss your options and your ideas with them.
While there’s plenty to think about and consider, you won’t want to rush it. Remember, you’re going to be wearing this ring for a long time so it’s in your interests to be thorough in the process of choosing (and creating) your wedding ring.
When you choose a men’s wedding ring from DORA, you’ll have your choice of…
Metal and colour
Maybe the most important consideration you will make – which metal and colour is your ring going to be made of?
Your choice of metal doesn’t just influence colour. It also determines how durable, brilliant and luminous your ring will be.
While we can’t tell you which metal you should choose for your ring (ultimately, that’s up to you and your spouse-to-be), we can certainly give you some pointers.
In particular, when it comes to men’s wedding rings we recommend sticking to precious metals like gold or platinum.
These are metals that are beautiful for eternity – they will look and feel better for the duration of your life and can even be handed down to the next generation.

Mix-and-match
Gold. Platinum. Carbon fibre. Rose gold.
With so many different options out there, it can be hard to settle on one specific metal or colour for your wedding ring.
Alternatively, you and your fiance may be butting heads already (not the best way to kick off the rest of your lives together!)
Can’t decide? Good news: you don’t necessarily have to.
DORA rings aren’t restricted to one colour or metal – our catalogue of men’s wedding rings also includes multi-colour and multi-metal rings that allow you to mix-and-match to your heart’s content.
Gold and platinum? You got it. Carbon fibre inlaid with gold? Sure thing. Rose and white gold wedding bands? Not a problem.
Simply tell us what metals have caught your eye, and we’ll put one of our master jewellers on it!

Design, textures & patterns
Men’s wedding bands are traditionally plain gold bands. Not that there’s anything wrong with tradition… sometimes however, you just want something a little bit different!
Don’t want a plain wedding band?
In addition to colour and metal, DORA rings can also be customised with a range of different designs.
Our master ringmakers can create hand-crafted pieces of art with intricate braiding, lines, patterns and highlights.
We also offer your choice of finishes, ranging from high polish and glossy rings for a traditional, luxury look, to matte finishes for a more subdued, low-key appearance.
Get comfortable – choose your preferred width and thickness
Obviously, both comfort and appearance are highly subjective, and depend on how thick and wide your ring is. Just be sure that you know the difference between the two!
- Thickness: refers to the internal depth of the ring from surface to finger
- Width: refers to how much area the ring takes up on your finger
In the end, your decision regarding ring thickness and width all come down to personal taste. While narrow rings are generally worn by women, if you feel like a narrow ring suits you better, by all means, go for it!
With both of these factors, oftentimes the only way to know for sure which one you prefer is to try it for yourself.
In addition to sizing kits, your DORA stockist will also have sample rings on-hand for you to experiment with.
You and your fiance will be able to try on rings of varying thicknesses, and find a width that offers the best balance between comfort and aesthetics.
Engraved men’s wedding rings
Give your wedding ring the ultimate personal touch with a custom engraving!
Engraved men’s wedding rings are totally unique, imbuing your ring with even further sentimental value and meaning.
Some examples of engravings include:
- Declaration of love
- Your SO’s name
- Wedding vows
- Scripture
- Special dates
- Meaningful quotes
Some men decide to break with tradition and engrave jokes or even a quote from their favourite TV show – there’s no limit to what can be engraved (besides the 40-character limit, that is!)
