In recent years, men’s engagement rings have seen a significant rise in popularity. In this article, we explore the evolution of engagement ring traditions, how men could wear their rings, and our top shopping picks.
We’re seeing more couples choosing engagement rings together. There’s more openness now — from talking about styles ahead of time to booking appointments together. It’s less about guessing and more about collaboration, which makes the process far more meaningful.

I predict an increase in interest for vintage and antique rings - I would argue the most truly sustainable option for an engagement ring.
There are so many reasons to consider a vintage engagement ring: unparalleled handmade craftsmanship, authenticity (rings weren’t mass-made in the same way they are today), and excellent value - as a ring is ‘pre-loved’ only the cost of the materials is passed onto the end client, rather than any cost of manufacture. Additionally anything ‘second-hand’ is exempt from VAT so your money will go a lot further!
More men are now looking for a more alternative and unique design, that is straying away from the traditional band.
We’ve seen a move toward individuality, with more couples looking for a piece that reflects their story and personal values, instead of just sticking to tradition. It’s now easier than ever for couples to find designs that are both beautiful and unique.
