Build Your Own Men’s Wedding Band with John’s Ring Building Tool 

With John Atencio's Ring Builder tool, you can build a customized creation from the comfort of your home. Here’s how the process works:

Step 1

Start by choosing a precious metal. Your options include everything from traditional precious metals, such as yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold, to alternative materials, such as titanium, meteorite, and Damascus steel. 

Step 2

Next, select the shape of your ring. You’ll have several available options, ranging from domed to beveled to rounded to Ultra Comfort, our most comfortable profile. During this step, you will also choose the width and weight of your ring. 

Step 3

Now, it’s time to choose your finish. Here, you will have a broad range of intriguing options, including a high-sheen polished, satin, stone, sand, hammered, distressed, stippled, and more. A unique finish allows you to put a personalized stamp on your ring, making it a distinctive reflection of your personality and individual style.

Step 4

During this step, you’ll get an opportunity to further customize your ring with additional features, such as inlays, gemstones and design patterns. The choices are seemingly endless, so set aside some time to go over every available option. With so many intriguing choices, it can be hard to settle on just one!

Finishing Up

The final few steps involve choosing a potential inside feature to further customize your ring. You’ll also be given the option of an engraving where you can add a special message, initials or anything else that speaks to your union. Finally, it’s time to choose a size for your ring. When you’re finished, you’ll get a total price for your customized creation, so you can click the order button and let us begin crafting your ring.

Bear in mind that before the ring is put into production, John Atencio will send a complimentary ring sizing kit to make sure your comfort fit size is accurate.

Customizing an Existing Design

Did you find a ring design you really like but want to adapt it to make it absolutely perfect?  

You can customize an individual John Atencio ring style rather than just building from scratch. Here is a prime example if you need some inspiration.

There are a number of ways to take an existing ring and add a few personal touches. Visit a local store to speak with one of our jewelry consultants about all the existing possibilities.

Things to Consider When Customizing Your Ring

With innovative customizing options, John makes it easy to create a men's wedding band that’s 100% you. But there are a few things you should keep in mind before you get started. 

Here are some things to consider when creating your ring, along with some tips on building a men's wedding band that reflects your taste and style.

Understanding Fit for Comfort and Wearability

Fit is one of the first and most essential considerations when beginning the process of constructing your custom wedding band. An improperly sized ring brings discomfort no matter what metal or design elements you choose. Alternatively, a well-fitted band effortlessly blends into your lifestyle, even if you’re especially active. 

At John Atencio, we specially craft all our wedding bands in a comfort-fit design that provides a smooth, secure feel. Each comfort-fit ring has a domed interior that touches the skin while the diameter in the middle is slightly narrower than the outer edges. This allows the band to easily slide over the knuckles with less skin friction.

For accurate sizing, we provide specialty ring sizers to new customers whether they are shopping online or in our stores. This guarantees that you receive the most precise size measurement before we begin crafting your band. Note that we generally send a ring sizing kit once the order has been placed online. To ensure an accurate measurement, you can visit a local John Atencio store, where our consultants will carefully size you for a perfect fit.

Choosing Your Primary Metal Composition

The primary metal serves as the core foundation around which you’ll construct the overall design theme of your dream wedding band. So first carefully consider which metals best speak to your personal style while also harmonizing with your fiancé’s rings. 

Classic yellow gold projects enduring heritage with generations. Alternatively, white gold exudes sleek contemporary charm. These days, you can also choose intriguing alternative materials, such as titanium, meteorite, and Damascus steel. 

Each option offers unique benefits tailored to varying tastes and lifestyles.

Getting Creative by Adding Meaningful Custom Design Embellishments

Once you decide on your foundational material, you have the option of customizing your band with special decorative touches that subtly convey the essence of your shared love journey. 

Engraving meaningful initials, wedding dates or tiny symbols adds sentimental significance. Contrasting hammered, patina, or milgrain beveled textures supplies artistic visual intrigue.

Incorporating colorful birthstone gemstones or rare inlays of meteorite, wood, or even crushed dinosaur bone make dramatic one-of-a-kind design statements. And pavé set black diamonds fused into sleek ceramic bands project a thrilling masculine edge. 

Play with mixing varying metal finishes, exotic materials, and vibrant stones to achieve an inspired design rich with symbolic meaning of your glorious future together.

Matching Personality, Lifestyle and Future Plans

Today’s modern, discerning man requires a unique band suiting his individual personality, interests, lifestyle pursuits, and even future aspirations. When constructing your custom ring, consider subtly incorporating design details reflecting your personality and style sensibilities.

Do you envision someday passing down your cherished wedding band to future generations as a family heirloom? If so, this may influence your choice of precious metals or engravings.
When initially dreaming up ideas for constructing their rings, many men find inspiration in current men’s wedding band trends. Right now, alternative materials are having a moment as men seek to express their individuality with materials like dinosaur bone, meteorite, and Damascus steel. Black diamond bands are also popular, as are textured metals, which add visual intrigue that brings that eye-catching uniqueness modern men covet.

John Atencio’s design consultants continually track the latest trending aesthetics so they can guide couples in incorporating what’s hot into the custom creation process. This ensures your finished ring projects a fashionable yet timeless look guaranteed to endure for future generations.
