Men's engagement rings

When it comes to choosing the right metal for a men’s engagement ring, it really comes down to what feels most to you. Some people love the classic look of yellow or white gold, or the timeless elegance of platinum—they're both strong and lasting. Rose gold gives a warmer, more unique feel if you’re looking for something a little different. On the other hand, if you're after something modern and really durable, metals like tungsten and titanium are sleek and tough. And if you’re feeling adventurous, mixing different metals can create a really unique statement. The bottom line is: pick what feels good for you.

Engagement rings have traditionally been seen as something for women, but that’s changing. More men are wearing them now because, really, why not? It’s a personal choice. Some guys love having a ring to show their commitment, while others prefer to wait for the wedding band. There’s no rulebook, just whatever feels right for you as a couple.

Traditionally, the person proposing purchases the engagement ring, but these days, many couples would rather shop for the ring together. It all comes down to what’s right for them—whether that means selecting something that represents their aesthetic or even coordinating rings. The process is moving away from tradition and more toward what is right for the couple.

When it comes to men’s engagement rings, classic styles like simple bands or rings with minimalistic designs are often the most popular. Some may prefer a modern look, like a sleek, polished metal band or even one with a subtle gemstone. Others like a little more flair, with interesting textures or patterns, or a diamond in the center for a little extra elegance.

Men’s engagement rings can cost anywhere between a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the material, design, and if it contains gemstones. On average, expect to spend anywhere between £500 and £2,000. Although top-of-the-range options can be much more expensive. It’s really a matter of striking the right balance between style, budget and what feels meaningful for the couple.

While diamonds are a popular choice for engagement rings in general, men’s rings can feature a range of gemstones. Sapphires, emeralds, rubies or even black diamonds have become trendy alternatives. Other couples prefer a more heartfelt touch, using birthstones or other meaningful stones to symbolize their journey together. The important part is to select something that reflects the couple’s taste and importance
