Mens Diamond Ring Makes Perfect Engagement Notice
Executive Summary about Mens Diamond Ring by J Francis Nelson
mens gold diamond ring
Traditionally, it is the woman who, upon being asked for her hand in marriage, is presented with a diamond engagement ring. A mens diamond ring, in those days of yore, was unheard of.
But in this day and age of gender equality and the acceptance of a fashionable man, there is no reason that a gentleman who is due to be wed should not display his love for his fiancée on his finger.
“It’s too flashy for a man.” Many people will argue that a manly man would never wear a diamond, as it is simply too flashy. Maybe it would be, for a less confidant man.
“It demeans the woman’s ring.” Another argument is that the rock on her finger should be the only diamond, and that a man who insists on wearing a stone of his own is competing for attention with his bride-to-be. Engagement rings are her territory, not his.
A modern man would never try to take the spotlight away from his fiancée or her stunning ring, and she knows it.
There are plenty more arguments against a mens diamond ring for an engagement – but the only thing that matters is that it means something to the engaged couple.
Mens Diamond Rings More Than Simply “Bling”
Most people would assume that mens diamond rings would be gaudy, bulky items, worn as outrageous displays of wealth and cockiness. But there is a whole class of diamond rings for the man who wants to show off in a more demure and cultured way.
There are usually three styles of rings that a man might wear that would feature a diamond in some way:
The Engagement Ring. Traditionally in modern Western culture, an engagement ring has been worn by women only. Many men are unaccustomed to wearing jewellery of any sort, so an engagement ring can be a “practice” ring that gets them used to having something on their finger.
The Wedding Band. Again, tradition might attempt to dictate that a man’s wedding band should be simple and plain, with no adornments or identifying features. It should be nothing but a band. But it should be considered that this band will be on his finger, every day, and hopefully for the rest of his life.
The Fashion Ring. A man who wears a ring for fashion is not limited by the narrow views of fashionless and humourless people – he is his own man, who apologizes to no one for his style.
