While choosing the perfect man’s engagement ring, keep the below steps in mind:
- Set Your Budget: Identify a realistic price range based on your spending power to zero in on your options.
- Identify His Style: Understand whether he prefers classic and traditional designs and motifs, something bold and extravagant, or minimalist.
- Know His Ring Size: Secretly measure his ring finger (if it’s a surprise) or ask for an existing ring (if he’s aware).
- Choose the Metal: Opt for durable, pure metals like 14K/18K gold or 950 platinum.
- Pick Diamonds: You can keep the band plain if he likes it. If that’s not the case, embellish it with a certified natural or lab-grown diamond for a center stone.
- Select Accent Stones: Try out authentic diamonds or colored gems for accent stones to make it even more unique.
- Decide on Shape: Pay extra attention to the stone shape for a unique look.
- Find the Right Setting: Pick a secure setting to protect the gems.
- Purchase from a renowned jeweler: Ensure whether the jeweler offers authentic metal and gems, a lifetime warranty, and long-term care support.
What should I consider when buying a man’s engagement ring?
While choosing a man’s engagement ring, here are a few things to consider.
- Focus on His Skin Tone: Pick a metal that complements his skin undertones. For instance, 950 platinum and white gold suit cool undertones. Rose gold suits all warm, neutral, olive, and cool undertones. Yellow gold suits warm and olive undertones.
- Think about His Lifestyle and Personality: If he likes to be loud about his love for you, consider rings with intricate designs. If he prefers all-things-minimal, check out plain bands. Or, if he leads an active lifestyle, look for durable, low-profile options.
- Check for Diamond Quality: If you’ll get an embellished ring, choose quality diamonds, focusing on cut, clarity, color, carat, and diamond shape.
- Look for Personalization Services: To make the ring more meaningful, check if the jeweler can personalize it with initials, a date, or a cute message.
- Review Care & Protection Policies: Consider a lifetime warranty and expert craftsmanship for a timeless and meaningful piece that conveys your feelings effortlessly.
What type of diamond should I choose for men’s engagement rings?
You can choose a natural diamond if you want to get him something rare. If you’re looking for something more affordable but with equal sparkle, lab-grown diamonds are a great choice.
What is the ideal carat weight for a man’s engagement ring?
The ideal carat weight for men’s engagement rings depends on the preferred design. For instance, 0.1-0.5 carats are the best for minimal personality types. However, for a man who likes statement-worthy pieces, 0.75-1 carat can make him look sharp, striking, and unmistakably yours!
How do I determine the right size of a men’s engagement ring?
You can determine the right size of a man’s engagement ring with a ring sizer. If he already has a ring, you can take it to a jeweler and find out its size. However, if none of it is possible and you want to be discreet, wind a strip of paper around his ring finger and mark it where it overlaps – this is the inside circumference. You can next check it with our ring size chart to determine the exact size. Make sure to go for 1/2 size up if you want a wide band.
How much does a custom men's engagement ring cost?
A minimalist custom men’s engagement ring with a single 0.5 carat stone costs around $1,200. If it has intricate designs, multiple natural diamonds, personalized engravings of names, memorable dates, or other symbols, the cost may go beyond $5,000.
How long does it take to create a custom men’s engagement ring?
Crafting a custom men’s engagement ring can take approximately 12-20 business days based on the design, engraving, diamond quality, additional gems, center and accent stone shapes and settings, and other personalized details.
