A Guide to Men's Engagement Rings

According to tradition, an engagement ring is placed on the ring finger of the left hand as a symbol of love and to mark the acceptance of a proposal of marriage. It is a promise of the future and a sign that two people want to devote their lives to each other. Whether the couple in question are male and female or the same sex, the sentiment and the acknowledgement of a future commitment symbolised by an engagement ring are the same.
Since The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 was passed by parliament in the UK in July 2013, many same sex couples have been making the move to get married. There are also more men than ever purchasing men’s engagement rings for their significant others, and whether they are planning a surprise proposal or would prefer to shop for a ring together, this is a wonderful new tradition that is on the increase.

If you are looking to buy men’s engagement rings, then you may be wondering where to begin. While the traditional engagement ring style may be fine for some, others may prefer something less ostentatious, although as with any significant jewellery purchase, quality remains to be a largely significant factor in your decision. Since same sex engagement rings are likely to be worn long after the marriage has been solemnised, finding a quality piece that will stand the test of time is essential.
Of course, just because a jeweller carries a stock of men’s engagement rings it doesn’t mean you will find one you like right away. Choosing an engagement ring is a very personal decision - very often, people know exactly which ring is the one for them when they see it. The one you choose must be perfect, so you may feel that you want to create something that has special meaning to you both.
