Looking for a Mens Engagement Rings
There has been a rise in the trend of mens engagement rings after the growing popularity of Double-ring or Two-ring ceremonies.
However, Mens engagement rings dont have diamond sets with many highlighted features (such as prongs). Rings for men are understated, subtle and modest and are practical for maintenance activities, sport and work. Many mens engagement rings are bands with minimal add ons or are imprinted with a note, date or phrase that symbolize the couples intimacy, love and individuality.
But some men like engagement rings which are more elaborate and overt. Different metals such as tints of bronze, white or yellow gold can add individuality to the ring without using any gemstones. These rings are also called Two Tone rings. Patterns or lattices can be created on rings surface through elaborate carving to form textured rings. Another famous option is Titanium engagement rings which provide bright textures and shades of purple, red, blue and other colors. Several metal alloys can be used to create patterns on the ring band that are very distinctive. These are famous as Mokume Gane engagement rings.
Many men also prefer diamonds in their engagement rings, just like womens rings have. Though, these rings do not have smaller stones embracing a center stone. If one diamond is used, maybe set in a wide band or set in the corner, it is called a solitaire diamond. If multiple diamonds are used, then they are arranged along an edge or are set in a band, instead of highlighting one diamond over the rest. Channel diamonds do not get damaged easily and are good for mens rings.
But, many men do not prefer focusing only on diamonds for their engagement rings. Mens white gold rings, colored gemstones, or preferably gemstones of the couple, are very popular options and can be set easily in their respective engagement bands. They can be combined with few small diamonds for increasing the visual interest and clarity. Pearls are never advised to be used in mens rings as they can be easily damaged and they are very hard to channel set.
Nowadays, mens engagement rings are also obtainable in special wedding sets. These unusual engagement rings sets constitute of ring and a wedding band which are similar with complementary features or stones.
The cost of men and womens rings are almost similar. The diamonds are smaller in mens ring but their weight is much greater and that increases their price substantially. Rings with intricate patterns or Two Tone rings are more expensive as they are difficult to manufacture. However, simple bands or rings without gemstones are less costly than other rings. Also, nowadays a lot of women are proposing to their men. The popularity of mens rings is increasing but many are still unaware or resist the idea of engagement rings. So, its best to ask the man regarding him wearing an engagement ring and discuss his sentiments. If he agrees to it, then the couple can choose their rings together and also discuss style options and cost of the rings.
