Styles for Men
Plain bands, diamond-accent bands, and single-stone rings all suit mens engagement rings, depending on taste and daily wear.
Lower, sturdier settings suit hands-on work better than tall settings, which catch more easily.
Metals for Men
Gold, platinum, tungsten, titanium, and tantalum all suit mens rings, with different looks, weights, and resizing terms.
Alternative metals such as tungsten and titanium usually cannot be resized, so measure carefully before ordering them.
Stones and Accents
A single diamond or colored stone suits buyers who want a clear engagement symbol, while accent stones suit buyers who want subtle sparkle.
Black diamonds, sapphires, and dark stones suit mens rings well, since they read as bold without being flashy.
Sizing and Comfort
Measure in the evening at normal temperature, and size up slightly for wide bands, which feel tighter than narrow bands.
Comfort fit bands suit mens rings well, since they slide easily and feel smooth over long days.
Mens Engagement Rings FAQ
Do men wear engagement rings?
Increasingly yes. Mens engagement rings are chosen by the wearer and the couple, without a fixed tradition.
What style suits a man who works with his hands?
A low, sturdy band with a bezel or flush setting, in a durable metal, resists knocks best.
Can mens rings be resized?
Gold and platinum rings usually can. Tungsten, titanium, and tantalum rings usually cannot, so measure carefully.
Should a mens engagement ring match the partner ring?
It can share a metal or style, but it does not need to match. Each ring should suit its wearer.
