Mangagement Rings: A Buying Guide

In years since the landmark change in English and Welsh law allowing same-sex couples to get married came into force, more than 15,000 have taken up the opportunity to tie the knot in this traditional way. But, what it’s sparked in how we propose is anything but old school. Indeed, in some cases, it seems the matrimonial rule book is being completely rewritten, especially when it comes to jewellery.

One of the biggest developments has been the rise in popularity of mangagement rings, which, as the name suggests, are engagement rings for men. And they’re not just favoured by the LGBTQ+ community; many straight couples love the concept, too! Gender roles have changed so much in recent years and many women are choosing to pop the question themselves. Plus, couples now see rings as a way of showing equality  ̶  a symbol of their love and commitment to each other, rather than a one-way physical marker that this woman is now ‘off the market’.

It’s a trend that’s attracting a growing celebrity following, too. When singer Ed Sheeran got engaged to his fiancée, Cherry Seaborn, last year, the couple both chose to wear rings. Whatever your love story, there really are no rules when it comes to choosing a mangagement ring.

From the choice of metal, stone and setting to going really bespoke with personalised engravings and even fingerprints, the possibilities are endless. To help you choose, here are a few of our favourite mangagement rings.
