Can Men Wear Engagement Rings? What Style?
Men can absolutely wear engagement rings. In fact, more men in New Zealand and around the world are doing just that. It’s a symbol of commitment—not just a tradition for women. A diamond ring on a man’s hand can look just as bold, elegant, and meaningful.
Why More Men Are Wearing Engagement Rings
Love goes both ways. A diamond engagement ring is no longer just about proposing—it’s about showing devotion. And there’s no reason why men shouldn’t wear a ring to reflect that same promise.
Men’s engagement rings are about style, weight, and presence. It’s a way to show off a ring that matches your partner’s, but with your own twist.
What Styles Work Best for Men?
If you prefer a traditionally masculine look, there are plenty of ring styles to choose from.
Band-Style Rings with Diamonds
Thicker gold or platinum bands with a small diamond or embedded row of stones are a popular choice. These rings are understated, but rich. One VVS2 or VS1 clarity stone—IGI certified—can be deep-set into the metal for a rugged luxury look.
Many men choose a 1 carat or 2 carat diamond for balance. If you want something louder, a 3 carat diamond in a wide band can make a bold statement.
Signet-Style Rings
This is a classic men’s ring style. A flat top with a single diamond in the centre makes it both elegant and powerful. Choose an emerald cut diamond for strong lines and clarity over sparkle. It gives off a sleek, serious energy.
Solitaire Rings in a Heavy Setting
If you want a diamond front and centre, you can go with a traditional solitaire. But make it your own by placing it in a thick gold band—white, yellow, or rose gold. A 1 or 2 carat diamond works best here, especially if you go for clarity grades like VS1 or VVS2.
Matte or Brushed Finishes
Matte textures give the ring a solid, low-shine finish. Pair this with a small diamond for contrast. The mix of raw metal and fine diamond creates a modern feel that many men prefer.
Channel-Set Diamond Bands
These have small diamonds set in a clean row. It adds shine without being over-the-top. You can go for all-diamond or mix it with metal details. It’s subtle, sleek, and timeless.
