The Essential Guide to Men's Engagement Rings
Traditionally, engagement rings have been associated with women more than men. However, in recent times, the concept of men’s engagement rings has picked up, and they are gaining increasing popularity. Men's engagement rings are a wonderful way to celebrate the love between two people and to symbolise a commitment to one another.
Men's engagement rings come in a variety of styles and metals, but one of the most popular options is a sapphire engagement ring.
Lab-created sapphire engagement rings, in particular, have gained popularity as a more affordable and sustainable option to mined sapphires.
Different Types of Men's Engagement Rings
Men's engagement rings come in a range of styles, from traditional to more contemporary. They also come in a variety of metals, ranging from classic gold and platinum to more modern materials like tungsten and titanium.
When it comes to sapphire engagement rings, one of the most popular styles is the solitaire design. This style features a single sapphire stone set into a simple band. This stylish design has a classic look and can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. Men's solitaire engagement rings are also often complemented by other precious stones like diamonds, rubies, or emeralds.
Another popular style for men's engagement rings is the three-stone setting. This style features three stones, which can be sapphire or a combination of sapphire and other precious stones, set in a row along the band. The three-stone design has a vintage aesthetic and a luxurious look, making it the perfect choice for those who want a more luxurious touch to their engagement ring.
The Advantages of Sapphire Engagement Rings
Sapphire engagement rings have gained in popularity because they offer a number of advantages over more traditional diamond engagement rings. Here are a few reasons why:
1. They are durable. Sapphire is one of the strongest and most durable gemstones, making it the perfect choice for men's engagement rings.
2. They come in a range of colours. While blue is the most common colour for sapphire engagement rings, they are available in a range of other hues including pink, purple, green, and yellow.
3. They are more affordable. Lab-created sapphires offer a more affordable alternative to traditional mined sapphires without sacrificing quality.
4. They are sustainable. Lab-created sapphires are a more sustainable alternative to the often unethical practices of traditional mining.
How to Choose Men's Sapphire Engagement Rings
When it comes to choosing a men's engagement ring, there are a few things you will want to consider. Men's engagement rings tend to be more understated than women's rings, with a focus on simplicity and durability.
Firstly, you'll want to consider the style of the engagement ring you want. Do you prefer a classic look or something more modern? Solitaire designs can be a great choice if you're looking for simplicity, while a three-stone setting will make more of a statement.
Next, consider the colour of the sapphire. Blue sapphire is the most popular choice, but sapphires come in a wide range of colours. Many people prefer the idea of lab-created sapphires which tend to have a more consistent colour quality.
Finally, consider the metal. Of course, you will want something that can withstand daily wear and tear without losing its lustre. White gold or platinum are popular choices, but gold and other metals can provide a complementary contrast to the sapphire.
Personalising Men's Sapphire Engagement Rings
Personalising your men’s engagement ring is a great way to add a unique touch to your ring. Engraving the inside of your band with your initials or a special date is a classic and timeless way to add a personal touch. Another way to personalise your men’s engagement ring is to customise the setting. A simple design of your favourite symbol or metalwork can be added to the band to make it stand out.
Gemstones can be added to complement sapphire, such as diamonds or other precious stones. Sapphire engagement rings can also be paired with customised cufflinks or tie pins to complete the overall look.
Styling With Men's Sapphire Engagement Rings
When it comes to styling with men's engagement rings, less is more. For formal occasions, a simple tie clip or cufflinks can be a great backdrop for a sapphire engagement ring. For more casual occasions, simple studs or hoops can complement the ring perfectly.
A classic blue sapphire can be best complemented with neutral shades of black or brown. However, men's engagement rings with sapphires in varying colours can play well with suave colours like green, grey and maroon.
Men's engagement rings can also be complemented with a well-chosen watch or other jewellery pieces, but be careful not to overdo it: the ring should always be the main focus!
