Man-gagement Rings: The Next Wedding Trend?
According to The Knot.com, 5% of men are wearing man-gagement rings. According to reader responses, they are also wearing male promise rings. Is this the next big wedding trend, and would your guy jump on board? Share this with your guy to find out.
What does a man-gagement ring look like?
Just like women’s rings, male engagement rings range in price and complexity. If they contain a diamond or stone, the setting is typically low. The most popular styles are simple with minor engraving or light embellishments. For instance, the ring might be engraved with a meaning word, date or lyric. More elaborate styles can be two-toned or feature gemstones such as rubies and diamonds. A common style is a ring with the groom’s birthstone.
According to jewelry trend expert Michelle Adams from DiamondJewlery.org, “Matching engagement rings seem to be the most popular right now. For example, a couple will decide to get engaged and pick out matching platinum bands or possibly matching sterling silver bands with a special inscription that says something meaningful such as the couple’s favorite saying, verse, song, etc. The men’s rings tend to be wider and often come in the comfort fit for easy wear. The women’s rings tend to be a bit more elaborate, often with a diamond or diamond cutting.”
If he wears a man-gagement ring, does he need a wedding ring?
Male engagement rings are typically sold in wedding sets. The wedding band typically complements the engagement ring and features the same stones or textures. Since most men prefer to wear one ring, they often have the two rings bound together to create one ring. Another option is to wear the engagement ring on the right hand after the wedding.
How much do man-gagement rings cost?
The cost for male engagement rings is similar to women’s rings. Costs range from low to high depending on materials and complexity.
Where do I purchase a man-gagement ring?
Male engagement rings can be purchased at most jewelry stores or online.
If my guy wants a man-gagement ring, does this mean I should propose?
Although not the norm, women proposing to men is becoming more common. There is no longer a belief that women have to wait for a man to propose. If you decide to propose, you could present your guy with a man-gagment ring.
A male engagement ring, however, does not require you to propose. Instead, you and your guy could pick out a male engagement ring after he proposes. Once you are engaged, he can wear the ring just as you do to showcase his love for you and excitement for the upcoming wedding.
Are men really wearing engagement rings?
According to jewelry trend expert Michelle Adams from DiamondJewlery.org, “Yes. It seems the men don’t want to miss out on all the fun. They, too, want to have a special ring to signify their love. It’s no longer uncommon for both the bride-to-be and the groom-to-be to both wear engagement rings.”
We’d love to know, would your guy ever wear a male engagement ring? Do you love or hate this trend?
I bought my man a ring to double as a wedding band and engagement ring. I think it is only fair for the men to look “taken” too. He loves his ring. It brings a lot of validity to him saying he’s engaged, especially to people at work and to those who do not know me.
