    Engagement Rings for Men

    Engagement Rings for Men

    Engagement and Wedding rings are not just for woman. Typically, in the US men get women engagement rings and then later add a wedding band to that initial ring. Who is to say that men shouldn’t have an engagement ring as well? In some European cultures it is encouraged for men to also wear an engagement ring alongside their partner. Due to tradition, men can feel uncomfortable or embarrassed to wear a ring before the wedding. There are still some that do not wear a ring even after nuptials because of their career, comfort, or other numerous reasons. Back in the 1900’s and earlier men and woman did not wear wedding or engagement rings. This was due to costs, safety, etc..  

    In the 20th century is when it all began. During the World Wars men began to wear wedding rings as a means of remembering their loved ones. After the Korean War wedding bands took on the meaning that they have today.  Wedding and engagement rings are a symbol of one another’s love and devotion. A piece that is treasured for a lifetime. Men’s rings are typically simple in design with a comfort fit, but don’t let the norm dull your zest. The options are as endless, find the perfect ring that highlights his/your personality.

    Top 5 Non-Diamond Engagement Ring Ideas

    You hear engagement rings and immediately think “a big rock!” Well, that doesn’t have to be the case always. An engagement ring can be anything that you can relate your emotions with, and truly whatever your heart desires. There is absolutely no right or wrong! Although the ‘rocks’ have been a staple for engagement rings since time immemorial, let’s present you a few good alternatives:

    • Pearl on gold setting – A pristine white pearl on a yellow or rose-gold setting can serve as an elegant and beautiful alternative to your diamond ring. Coming to the emotional connection, pearls depict purity, generosity, and loyalty, which are the most perfect elements for your relationship. Northcoast Jewelry carries a wide variety of Pearl jewelry that you can explore here. 
    • Moissanite – It’s becoming quite the trend for many millennials and gen Z to opt out of the classic rock diamond and swap it out with a Moissanite. It’s a gemstone that’s similar to diamond in appearance. However, it can get a less than desirable rep being referred to as ‘fake diamond’ as some may say. Interestingly enough, it has the same crystal features of a diamond. It looks beautiful in a gold setting and has a refractive light index of more than diamond. 
    • Sapphire rings – Absolutely dreamy! Everyone is aware of how classic and beautiful they are. But what many people may not know is, the Duchess of Cambridge proudly flaunts Princess Diana’s sapphire ring. The hues, the shades, the cuts, the facets – so much to love about a sapphire!
