When my husband and I were shopping for rings, we ended up getting him a 4mm white gold band. He really wanted platinum, but that just wasn't in the budget back then.
These days, grooms are not settling for a simple gold band. Here's more from Grooms Online:
Bigger Really Is Better: Wider bands, ranging from 4 to 7 millimeters, are winning fans with grooms. Engravings, satin finishes, modern styles are all part of today's trend-setting bands for men.
The Platinum Touch: This is easily the biggest trend, as men - and women - are making the switch from gold to platinum. It is the rarest of all precious metals, the most durable, and the hardest, which makes it perfect for setting gemstones. Platinum is ideal for the active, or even clumsy man. It's tough, resists scratches and dents, and is hypoallergenic, which is a bonus for those who are sensitive to gold.

The 'Grooms Online' link is broken. But I couldn't agree more...Men these days are just becoming more fashion-conscious and care more about the jewelry they adorn. I think we're gonna start to a trend towards the more heavily designed rings away from the simple rings.

Allen Iverson broke out his newest signature shoe, the Reebok Answer XII, during the first game between the Buy Reebok Answer XII Invictus Shoes in November 2008.
The Reebok Answer XII Invictus On Sale basketball shoe features a leather upper with internal mock bootie construction that provides maximum comfort.
The Nike zoom BB IIreceived its design cues from Japanese-born Reebok designer Nike Zoom BB II Basketball Shoes, who also designed the Answer X. Both Winfield and Kanata have been trading off between the past three Buy Cheap Nike Zoom BB II Men's Basketball shoes to allow for a longer design window and more attention to the development process. It could be argued that Iverson’s series lost its gusto during the VI to IX era. Luckily, for Iverson and his fans, the line has been in good hands the past three years.
The mid panel is also generously perforated for greater breathability and the Nike Shox Vc IV Men's Basketball Shoe Black suede toe sets off a nice balance to the simple yet sharp overall look.? The outsole features a sticky rubber wavy herringbone traction pattern and cushioning comes via DMX Ride.

We opted for a 6mm platinum Lucida from Tiffany.
There is a big push for palladium this year, but the heft just isn't there. It's tough, durable stuff, to be sure, but it doesn't have the same appeal to me as platinum, or even white gold.
