Do men wear engagement rings?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, many men wear engagement rings. In fact, the popularity of mens engagement rings has soared over the last decade. At the same time, the variety of male ring designs exploded with a rise in the popularity of jewellery for men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On which hand should a man wear the engagement ring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This varies depending on the culture. However, in the UK tradition assigns an engagement ring to the third finger of the left hand. The ring finger (next to the pinky finger)<\/a> applies to both men and women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do couples choose the engagement rings together? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many couples choose an engagement ring together. When a buyer selects a surprise engagement ring at short notice, we provide a sample ring on loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To explain, we send out a showroom sample of the design for the proposal. For this reason, our showroom samples make the perfect compromise ahead of the actual ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, clients can book a visit to discuss their final ring of choice together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who buys a men’s engagement ring? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Men and women buy engagement rings for men. For example, men in same-sex relationships choose to wear an engagement ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, some women choose a ring for their male partners to celebrate an engagement. At the same time, the woman might choose a traditional diamond engagement ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Styles vary enormously. For example, some men choose simple bands. Conversely, other men choose more of a traditional ring design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budgeting for his engagement ring <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We provide many choices when it comes to buying a ring. Some couples save ahead of time to buy a ring outright. In contrast, credit often suits a spontaneous purchase with buy-now-pay-later options now available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, w<\/span>ith financing options<\/a> and other available payment plans, many more choices exist. Nevertheless, buyers should first consider their budget. At the same time, they should consider affordability and assess their personal finances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men’s Diamond Rings <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men’s’ diamond engagement rings have grown more and more popular. Our full range includes different widths and alternative diamond shapes. Plain bands provide the perfect design to flush-set diamonds into the metal. <\/span>For example, the Lord of the Rings inspired band shown below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"elvish<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Elvish ring<\/a> makes the ideal men’s diamond ring. We translate an extract of personalised text into elvish script. Next we precision laser engrave the writing onto the comfort fit profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional diamonds provide the perfect separator between words\u2014flush set into the ring centrally along the band.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"mens<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This flush set diamond ring<\/a> features a central matt finished channel and polished edges, available in a range of precious metal options from 950 Platinum, 18ct White Gold, 18ct Yellow Gold and 18ct Rose Gold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we can also supply higher-quality options upon request, including the opportunity to incorporate a gemstone. View the full range On our website.<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men’s Gemstone Engagement Rings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gemstones make a very popular choice for a male engagement ring. We source an incredible amount of gemstone types from precious to semi-precious gems. In addition, we offer most shapes and cuts. For example, we crafted the Blue Sapphire signet ring below for a local male client with a Cabochon<\/a> Sapphire set into 950 Platinum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engraved Engagement Ring <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Mountain<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With many different engraving options available, one of the most heartwarming commissions was this mountain engraved design. Taken from the couples honeymoon, we based the mountain on an image from the client. Creating a unique memory forever for the couple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can work really well for mens engagement rings too, whether it’s a location that is significate such as a first holiday, or a walk in the countryside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which metal should I go for? <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We get asked this question daily, for both men’s rings and ladies rings. In conclusion, we always recommend going for 950 Platinum for your special item of jewellery. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

950 Platinum is the most durable option to last a lifetime. Although not as brilliantly white compared to 18ct or 9ct Gold it will keep its colour over time. Read more on the pros to Platinum Here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why choose Titanium or Zirconium? <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our most unique and ever-growing popular ring range is our Titanium and Zirconium pieces. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"mens<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A unique option for Men’s engagement rings is our wood inlaid range. With a wide variety of coloured wood inlays in several styles. Choose from a carefully considered collection of wood types, including Bocote and Ziricote. All designs are beautifully finished and sealed to reveal the natural grain of the wooden inlay – In other words, perfect for the nature lovers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inlaid wood is finished within a Titanium band – Titanium itself, however, is unable to be resized. Which is why the size needs to spot on! To do this, we have a range of sizes that can be ordered and delivered to your home to try. View our page Mens trial ring sizers<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Which width should I go for? <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"mens<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Commonly, for mens engagement rings or wedding rings a 4mm wide band upwards is suggested. Men with slimmer fingers tend to go on the smaller width side of 4mm. However, the most popular width we see for men is 5mm \/ 6mm for men with average ring sizes. Read our page Band Widths<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
