Why We Are Obsessed With These Mens Black Wedding Bands

“With this ring, I thee wed.”

Sounds simple, doesn’t it? However, so much goes into the meaning and power of your vows, and it’s all symbolized by the rings you choose for your wedding. We know that the bride’s engagement ring is not taken lightly. But what about the groom’s wedding ring?

It almost seems like an afterthought, but it can be just as significant as the bride’s ring.

In that moment when you’re exchanging vows—looking right into the eyes of your forever person and holding back the tears—the feeling is transcendent. The weight of the rings and your words might feel like the only things keeping you grounded and focused. They are tangible, symbolic, and emotionally charged.

And then the vows are over. You kiss your love and you’re married!

Congratulations: your journey together is off to a good start.

So if that’s the plan, no simple ring will do just as no simple life partner will do. And why let the bride have all the fun in ring shopping? You should also get the perfect ring that expresses your love, personality, and commitment. Something as bold, fearless, and strong like you are. Luckily, today you have lots of plenty of options.

About sixty years ago, you would have been stuck choosing between just a few metals: sterling silver, yellow gold, or platinum. These days you can get mens wedding bands in all kinds of materials such as White Gold, Rose Gold, Platinum, Palladium, Ceramic, Titanium, Damascus Steel, and Tungsten Carbide.

But look around: don’t you see these rings on every groom now? Don’t you want something a little bit different than everyone else? A wedding band created using the latest technology. One that is ​​scratch-resistant, will never fade, and is guaranteed to last forever. A lab grown diamond black wedding ring might be your solution.

First of all, cross-culturally you’ll see that the color black has a common meaning: Masculinity. Of course, it can mean other things like sophisticated or formal, neither of which are bad. In some contexts, it can mean rebirth, but aren’t you practically beginning a new life with your bride?

A black wedding ring can signify power, courage, and strength, as well as show conviction or belief. In relation to marriage, a black ring can symbolize the power of love. Wearing this ring can be a way for a couple to show that they are dedicated to their marriage and that they believe in the strength of their union above all else.

And let’s not forget that black is a tough color, but in a good way. Think of this as the “New York black” of mens wedding rings. They mix and match with everything. They’re never over or underdressed.

A mens multi-stone diamond band or something else scintillating might be nice, but you run the risk of being too flashy for everyday wear. And a plain gold band is, well, plain and uninspiring. A unique mens black wedding ring is a happy medium. As we said, it's the NY black ring that commands the right amount of attention. It says, “Hey, step aside: I’m walkin’ here!”

Black rings are not new, and you might start seeing them pop up here and there. And to be honest, most are not that unique. However, there is a special black ring that is different from anything else on the market. Proprietary technology where Lab-Grown Diamonds are pressed into bands, creating a sleek and solid black diamond band. It’s called the Elysium Black Diamond ring. It’s a wedding band that’s fit for a superhero.

Do people describe you as unique, strong, powerful, or heroic? Then the Elysium ring is your ring. It’s the toughest ring ever made because it’s made from Lab Grown Diamonds. If you’re looking for a unique mens black wedding band, nothing beats an Elysium ring from MiaDonna. Even the process of how it’s created is different. Using a process called sintering, millions of tiny black Lab Grown Diamonds are compacted together in a special chamber.

Sintering simulates mother nature by using a chamber to apply 1,000,000 PSI and 1,500 degrees celsius heat to create a ring. This is all done in complete darkness. The lack of reflected light creates a dense and solid diamond band without the sparkle.

The result is a great-looking black ring that’s scratch resistant and fade-proof. Because it’s made entirely of diamonds which is the hardest material known to man (10 on the Mohs scale) the ring will easily last for the rest of your life (and beyond). You can scratch it on concrete or drop it on the floor and nothing is going to happen to it. If you go to the gym and accidentally forget it’s on, even the aggressively knurled stainless steel bars won’t damage your ring.

Elysium rings are highly customizable. You can choose a classic or modern style, polished or matte, and thin or thick bands. Some rings use pressed diamonds as the inlay of a platinum or gold ring. Others use a variety of materials such as gold, platinum, carbon fiber, or dinosaur bone as the inlay. The contrast between black and your choice of metal is especially eye-catching.

If you like, you can have a channel of lab grown diamonds on either side that’s slightly reminiscent of a ball bearing. You can even laser etch the inside of the ring with a special message or date. There are many ways to make this personalized for you and an excellent choice.

When you purchase an Elysian wedding ring, you are choosing something highly unique, versatile, and durable. But it gets better. A major benefit about Lab Created Diamonds is that they are cruelty-free and sustainable. At MiaDonna, we donate at least 10% of the profits to The Greener Diamond Foundation.

By choosing Elysium from MiaDonna, you now have the most ethical ring possible. And with that comes a story. It’s the story of you caring about all the damage earth-mined diamonds create. From cruel labor practices to the devastation of land and the environment, earth diamonds are unethical. In a small way, your choice is impactful and powerful.

So pulling it all together, both your rings come with a story. There’s an origin story and in this case, all the good that has come by choosing a Lab Grown Diamond. Another story to tell your friends and family is why you can happily demonstrate its strength by running it along hard surfaces like concrete!

And then there’s your couple story. You both have a love story that brought you to your vows. All of these stories intertwine and are symbolized in the circle of love and life we call a wedding ring.
