We’ve just launched 17 new men’s wedding band designs at Melanie Casey Jewelry, and there’s a story behind this collection. After my husband lost his original hand-carved ring during a frisbee game, it was time for an upgrade — and the perfect chance to take a fresh look at men’s wedding jewelry.

In this short episode, I share how that moment inspired me to design 17 brand-new men’s bands, more than doubling our offerings. From the bold new Square Band in yellow gold to the unique Two Twines Ring design, this collection gives men more options for meaningful, beautifully designed wedding rings.

We've just launched 17 new men's wedding

(00:02):
band designs into our permanentcollection. And of course,
there's a story behind it. WhenI first started out in the fine
jewelry industry, I wax carvedmy husband's wedding band from
scratch. Let's just say it wasperfectly imperfect. Over the
years, it took a beating, andI'd been trying to convince him
to upgrade to one of my currentdesigns for a while, but we kept

(00:23):
dragging our feet Well, wefinally got our reason to
upgrade.
Last month, we were away withfriends, and the guys got really
into lawn games. My husband tookoff his ring so it wouldn't keep
hitting the Frisbee. And as youcan probably guess, at some
point, it fell out of his pocketand disappeared into the grass.
So it was upgrade time. When hestarted trying on bands from our

(00:45):
collection, it felt like theoptions were so limited.
I hadn't realized it had been solong since I designed a new
men's band. I even went onlineto see what other jewelers were
offering and I was shocked athow little is out there. Men's
wedding jewelry is trulyunderserved. So it was time to
expand. I designed 17 brand newmen's wedding bands, more than

(01:06):
doubling our collection.
My husband chose his new bandfrom this collection, and soon
he'll be wearing the new sevenmillimeter square band in yellow
gold. Hopefully, he keeps thisone longer than the first. And
in case you're new here, I'mMelanie Casey, designer for the
fine jewelry brand Melanie CaseyJewelry. If you'd like to see
the new collection, head over tomelaniecasey.com and check out

(01:30):
the for him section. I'd love tohear your thoughts.
And if you have ideas for futuredesigns, please share them with
me. I'm always inspired byhearing what people are dreaming
about. Thanks for listening tothis short episode of the
engagement ring podcast byMelanie Casey Jewelry. I'll see
you in the next one.
