Living in the 21st century, some people may claim that we are in a post-modern society, where gender boundaries are being increasingly blurred, and the term ‘metrosexual’ is yet another modern catchphrase to apply to a man comfortable in his own sexuality.

With revolution in the air and all of this change, it would appear slightly ridiculous that some men still feel uncomfortable wearing a piece of jewellery that is symbolic for their commitment and love to the woman in their life.

Obviously engagement rings that are designed for men will be be more masculine in that they will be thicker and wider in order to fit the man’s finger, yet they will often also bear similar characteristics to those of a female engagement ring. Diamonds will often be a feature, as in women’s rings, as over the last sixty years, they have been a staple in most engagement rings.

Male engagement rings are becoming increasingly popular in the United States, with the wife to be returning favour of her engagement ring with one of her fiancee’s own; however, they are still by no means the norm.

With so many females out their battling for equal opportunities for women in the home and the workplace, it would seem that a forward step in such a movement would be to make the act of marriage an equal one too, with women shelling out the traditional two months salary for a ring to go on their man’s finger, therefore it begs the question as too why they are not more prevalent in today’s society.

The traditionalists in society may claim that it is a man’s duty to purchase and offer the ring, and that engagement rings are only to be worn by women because this is the way that it has always been.

For those who are a little more playful with tradition, somewhat more experimental with the idea of marriage, then a male engagement ring may be worth looking into, yet the latter view is totally acceptable, as many people agree that the old fashioned way of proposing is the best way, a sort of, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ mentality.

Many jewellers, including online jewellers and ring sale sites supply male engagement rings, many of which will offer great discounts for using their services online.
