Engagement Ring for Him - By: Andrew Moquin

For years, some might have been wondering why men can’t wear engagement rings to symbolize their status as women do. Well, there really is no apparent answer for that. It has been common in some countries for men to wear engagement ring but not in North America and Canada. However, lately, the preference of couples to have men wear an engagement as well has shot up.

Some couples would choose a traditional for engagement and later use as a wedding ring. But there are others who would go for unique designs or may be a diamond solitaire. There are also those when they are married, the engagement ring is moved to the right hand and the wedding ring will take over the left hand.

Putting a gemstone to a man’s engagement but still keeping that masculine feel is not as hard as you think. If you feel like a large diamond solitaires are just too much, you can opt for small diamonds or cubic zirconium. An Irish Claddagh ring is also an option you might want to consider. It’s not like a traditional engagement ring in terms of looks but still it holds no different message. Other great options you can choose from are signet rings, tungsten or titanium rings with some detailing, vintage rings. There is actually a lot to be named but consider those your top choices.

In the past, it was a given norm that only men proposed to women. However, times change and so are the people in this world. What would a man do if a woman presents an engagement ring to him? Well, it still depends on him. A lot of men wouldn’t even have to think twice about accepting the proposal and the ring. But, of course, we still can’t deny the fact that there are still others who are reticent about this. Like women who sometimes would prefer choosing their own wedding ring, you can ask your man if he is in it as well.

If he doesn’t find the idea of wearing a wedding ring too pleasing, maybe then you can give him some other item that can as well be a token of the commitment like a bracelet, a watch, or a neck chain, anything that signifies engagement at his liking, of course.

Some women can also give promise ring to their men if they feel like their man is not fully ready for a commitment. A promise ring symbolizes a woman’s care, connection, and friendship to the man. This tradition has been around and evolved for years and years usually associated with love and romance.

Time is changing, so is our traditions and beliefs. Styles in men’s jewelry go with such change. The days where women just wait for a man’s decision are all in the past. Proposal now is not just for men but is now a thing that women can equally do as well.
