Rising Trend: Mengagement Rings
Contemporary Men's Engagement Ring
The engagement ring is often only attributed to the lady in the relationship, the wife-to-be. But, in more recent times the equality of relationships has broken the tradition of the male asking the female, and it has become acceptable for men to enjoy celebrating their engagement with the symbol of a ring.
Whether the woman turns the tables and does the proposing herself, or she just wants her man to wear a ring marking their engagement after he has proposed to her, the men's engagement ring is a true statement of love and is growing in popularity. Jewellery retailers are all now beginning to market engagement rings exclusively for men.
Male engagement rings are worn in parts of Scandinavia and in the Basque regions of Spain, but until now they were scarce on the market in Britain, sold only by upmarket and on-demand designers.
