From lavish vacation homes to exclusive designer attire, celebrities have the ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. This flair extends to the world of men’s rings, too!
Male celebrities have been making waves with their unconventional and eye-catching wedding bands. They are no longer merely symbols of commitment but also expressions of individuality and style. Let’s look closer at these symbols of love from the higher circles of fame.
1. David Beckham
Leading the pack is David Beckham, the soccer legend and style icon. The British heartthrob married Spice Girl ‘Posh Spice’ Victoria Adams (now Beckham) in 1999. Throughout their 20+ year marriage, he’s gifted his wife multiple rings but has also sported different wedding rings himself. He’s worn a classic gold band at times. But his most famous wedding ring is a platinum ring adorned with diamonds that reflect his flamboyant personality.
2. Justin Timberlake
When Justin Timberlake married Jessica Biel in 2012, he vowed a lifelong commitment instead of telling her “Bye, Bye, Bye.” His wedding band, like his career, is anything but ordinary. The “Cry Me a River” singer’s ring is a thick yellow gold band with dynamic ridges around the edges.
3. Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka were engaged for seven years before the 2011 Marriage Equality Act passed. They wed in a lavish destination wedding in Italy in 2014 attended by big names in the entertainment industry, including Elton John. The men both wore custom tuxedos by Tom Ford. Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka sport identical silver wedding bands to signify their everlasting love.
4. Ryan Reynolds
The wedding ring of Ryan Reynolds, the witty and charming Deadpool star, also deserves a mention. When marrying actress Blake Lively, Reynolds opted for a textured gold band with a modern twist. It’s a striking piece that mirrors his fun-loving and vivacious character.
5. George Clooney
Hollywood’s favorite bachelor, George Clooney, couldn’t resist the charms of Amal Alamuddin. The actor and philanthropist married the human rights lawyer in Venice, Italy, in 2014. The couple wear similar platinum, with his slightly thicker. The rings are elegant and simple, matching his air of ultimate sophistication.
6. Elton John
Elton John married long-time love David Furnish in 2014, shortly after same-sex marriages became legal in the U.K. The couple started dating in 1993. Elton John’s wedding ring is as flamboyant and iconic as the singer himself. His band, encrusted with diamonds and designed with a distinctive floral motif, reflects his vibrant personality and artistic flair.
7. Prince Harry
Moving away from Hollywood, let’s turn our attention to the royal circles. Prince Harry’s wedding ring broke away from the royal tradition of wearing a simple band of Welsh gold. Instead, he opted for a platinum band with a textured finish, once again proving his reputation as the modern royal.
But why should we care about these celebrities’ wedding rings? What do they tell us? Well, they’re more than just glitzy accessories. They reflect the wearer’s personality, taste, and style. They break away from the traditional conceptions of male wedding bands, proving that men, too, can use jewelry as a form of self-expression.
