Karat Value: |
Pure gold is very malleable and ductile meaning that it can be beaten into very thin sheets and drawn into very long wires. In fact, a single ounce of gold can stretch into a wire 5 miles long & it can be beaten into sheets thin enough to let light to pass through it.
For this reason, pure gold is very soft and jewelry crafted out of pure gold will be too soft to retain its shape. Moreover, if you try to set gemstones into a pure Gold mounting, you would lose the stones.
Gold has to be alloyed (mixed) with other metals to give it the desired durability.

The degree of purity of gold in such an alloy is measured in karats and denoted by the letter K. Higher the karat value, higher is the purity of gold. 24k is the purest form of gold but it is seldom used for crafting jewelry.
14k gold is the most popular for crafting jewelry. It means that 14 parts are Gold, and 10 parts are other metals mixed in it. 14k Gold is a fine balance of durability and luster. Mens gold rings usually come in 10k, 14k, and 18k. 18k gold too is a popular choice for crafting these rings.

Band Thickness: |
Mens gold rings are available in varying thickness. If you happen to have large fingers, a thick band would be more suitable. But, if you have small slender fingers, a thin band should go well.

Sapphires with sufficiently large number of inclusions of tiny, rutile needles exhibit an optical property called asterism. Rutile is a mineral composed primarily of titanium dioxide.
When these inclusions are numerous enough, they make the stone translucent or opaque. When they are properly oriented, they reflect light in such a way that a moving star appears and glides across the top of the stone. Sapphires exhibiting this property are known as star sapphires.

Metal Color: |
As stated above, pure gold is a soft metal and a mix of different metals is alloyed with gold to give it the desired hardness. Silver, Copper, Nickel, Zinc, Aluminum and sometimes even Platinum are the metals used for this purpose.
The percentages of other alloys can do fascinating things to gold. 24k pure gold is bright yellow orange in Color. It’s virtually like the color of a gorgeous golden sunset.
Adding alloys to gold can impart to it different colors like Pink, Rose, Red, White, Grey, Green, Light Green, Deep Green, Blue-White, and even Purple.

Gold and titanium two tone rings are very trendy and look subtly stylish. White gold is also an option that can be considered.
Gold is a very soft metal. Higher the karats value in a gold ring softer is the metal, because of the higher content of pure gold in the ring. Gold rings can bend and scratch and the rhodium plating can wear off. Usually a jeweler can polish the ring and give it a new rhodium coating to make the ring look like new again. If you are easy on your hands, a gold ring should not easily bend or scratch.
The type of ring you choose for yourself is also dictated by your lifestyle. If your job involves lot of hand work gemstones protruding from the ring face the danger of being knocked out or catching on to something. Channel setting of stones or plain bands without stones are a better option in such cases.
Preferences and personality should also be taken into consideration. Do you prefer understated, simple and classic styles or do you go in goes for the bold and flashy? This can determine the choice between a simple band and a flashy ring.
Ultimately your choice of a ring will be determined by your personal preferences and your budget.
