Hi, we’re looking for a wedding band for my fiance, but we’re having some difficulty finding something to suit him. I was wondering if anyone knows of a jewelry shop that sells wider bands, and carries materials like titanium or tungsten carbide. It would even be helpful to just hear of a jewelry district, where we could look around in several shops at once.
Thank you! 
PS We’ve already hit the department stores.
Go custom and show them a picture of the style you’re looking for.
When I went shopping for an engagement ring, I found my finger was too fat… um I mean muscular… for the “off the rack” rings so I had one made to order. Cheap and fast. Shop around a little more, and if you can’t find what you want, just tell a store what you would like.
How can there be such a thing as a “manly” wedding band? Wearing one is as good as just taking off your trousers and handing them over to your wife.
Nah, just kidding. We got ours at Tiffany’s. Matching white metal but mine was broader. I don’t wear it any more though, as like almas john, my fingers are now too er… muscular.
Despite my inlaws’ offer of jewel-encrusted wedding rings, my wife and I wanted something simpler, so we opted for plain platinum bands. We had them custom-made because everything the jeweller had in stock was a little too fancy/tacky.

Sandman means that Tiffany the 80’s pop star made them, rather than that place where the guy from the A-team had breakfast with that Hepburn woman.
What? What poor little ewe agreed to marry you? And is that even legal in Taiwan?

It was a moment of weakness on my part (yes, I was very drunk at the time). I’m still single, or that should be “I’m still engaged” but I’m pioneering a new form of relationship called an eternal engagement.
I got 2 Titanium bands from a kiosk like place in the 1st floor of Taipei 101. Very nice and simple and in many sizes.
I can vouch for the manliness of the said ring.
Taffy’s is manly too. In fact, I couldn’t really decide whose was manlier.
Thank you for the tips, but I’m wondering- how cheap is cheap (when it comes to getting a ring made to order)?
Also, I’ve heard about Joe the Jeweler on Chung Shan Road- does anyone have more information about him, like his address?
Thanks
This is a manly wedding band. 
Now see at least JoeSax is trying… just tie what’s left of your dangling vas deferens around your fourth finger (left hand) to remind you of those two dangly bits what were once there before. 
yes, maam !
We decided to get VERY plain white gold (bai-K-jin) rings to match the engagement ring I bought my wife. It’s the simplest possible - just literally a ring, but not in flashy gold. Her engagement ring was very simple with the emphasis on a stone of the right cut, clarity, colour and of course, a decent portion of a carat. That’s why the simple wedding ring was needed to match, which is also good news for most men who don’t want anything too wimpy.
You can go to pretty much any of the stores on Tong-Hua Jie (Xin-yi District) or anywhere else that has a jeweller’s area and just ask to see their plainest wedding rings. Ours only took about a week to get, and cost us something ridiculous like just NT$1,500 each, which is pretty good for white gold (not the same as platinum, which is just “bai-jin”, but a lot less flashy than gold).
I think the Tiffany’s ones were NT$17,000 for the pair.
We got Tiffany’s aswell. Mine is huge and very manly but cost a fortune. Thankfully mum in law paid. Apparently none of the cheaper ones could be made large enough for me. I have since had it resized down once and may have to do it again…I must be getting less muscular.

Don’t worry - It’s normal for a man’s appendages to shrink after getting married.
I have an incredibly manly wedding band. It’s made from the horn of a rhino I killed and ate. And to answer the OP’s next question I do have most of the horn left and yes there is plenty to make your fiance a wedding band. There will be no charge; however, to get a piece of the horn he must defeat me in hand to hand combat or Scrabble.
