Our collection of mens engagement rings come in a variety of styles – from more traditional diamond-accented bands to innovative settings with large diamond or gemstone center stones. Each design is crafted with quality and equality in mind: these mens engagement rings aim to expand inclusivity within the jewelry industry. Focusing on historically masculine silhouettes with glamorous updates, these designs speak to the fluidity of the human experience. In this collection, engagement rings for men are elevated to match the importance more often given to the female partner's fine jewelry – a metal homage to ethics, inclusivity, and equality.


In the spirit of fostering inclusivity, Brilliant Earth also recognizes the importance of celebrating couples of all types – in addition to our mens engagement rings, check out our MX Collection and Rings for Everyone page to view more styles made for all identities.

The answer, increasingly, is yes. Men’s engagement rings are gaining popularity for several compelling reasons:

  • Equal partnership: Many couples view engagement as a mutual commitment deserving of matching symbols
  • Visibility: A ring signals to others that a person is committed
  • Celebrity influence: Public figures like Ed Sheeran and Michael Bublé have popularized male engagement rings
  • Changing gender norms: Traditional gender-based customs are evolving across many aspects of relationships
Ultimately, whether a man wears an engagement ring is entirely a personal decision. There are no hard rules dictating who should wear what, and couples are increasingly free to create their own traditions that best symbolize their unique relationship.

What matters most isn’t following prescribed customs but honoring your partnership in ways that feel meaningful to both of you. Whether that means two engagement rings, one, or none at all, the choice is yours to make together.

Men’s engagement rings typically differ stylistically from those designed for women:

  • Band-style designs: Many men prefer wider bands with less prominent gemstones
  • Material choices: Popular options include titanium, tungsten, white gold, yellow gold, or platinum
Unlike women’s engagement rings that often feature prominent center stones, men’s engagement rings frequently showcase more understated designs. The focus tends to be on durability, comfort, and personal style rather than a large prominent center stone.

Different countries have varying traditions. In the US, UK, and many Western countries, engagement rings are typically worn on the left hand. In countries like Austria, Norway, Germany, and Russia, the right hand is more common.

Men who wear engagement rings have several options when it comes time for the wedding:

  • Move the engagement ring to the right hand
  • Replace the engagement ring with a wedding band
  • Wear both rings on the same finger
  • Incorporate the engagement ring into a wedding band design

Like many aspects of modern relationships, there’s no single “right” approach:

  • The person proposing may purchase both rings
  • Each partner may buy the other’s ring
  • Couples might shop together and share the cost
