History of Men’s Engagement Rings

In countries such as Chile and Sweden, it is a commonly accepted practice for men to wear engagement rings. Men’s engagement rings are gaining more traction elsewhere now, especially with the legalisation of same-sex marriage in multiple countries. For many, it is also a sign of a more egalitarian partnership between two people. Celebrities such as Ed Sheeran and Michael Bublé have raised awareness of this practice by sporting their own engagement rings.

How to style a men’s engagement ring

Engagement rings for men can be worn in a multitude of ways. You can wear yours on the traditional ring finger of the left hand, to match your partners. You can also wear it on the ring finger of your right hand. Engagement rings for men can also be stacked with wedding bands. If this is what you intend on doing, we recommend having a bespoke set made so that the two rings complement each other. Stacking has become a popular trend in 2022, so you can’t go wrong with this. If you don’t want to wear your ring on your hands, many people choose to wear their rings on a chain around their necks. The possibilities are endless, and at the end of the day, it is your ring for you to wear however you feel is best.

Men’s engagement ring styles

There are many men’s engagement ring styles, with more and more emerging as the practice is spreading. Many opt for a plain metal band with a rustic worked textured surface. Alternatively, you can choose a simple and clean band with a gemstone embedded into it. For a personal touch, you could pick yours and your partner’s birth stones. If you want to go even more subtle, you can choose a simple band with a hidden detail like a twist in the metal or a gemstone hidden on the inside of the band.
However, your engagement ring can be as extravagant as you like to suit your tastes.
