UK searches for men’s engagement rings having risen by 39% since this time last year, with 31k people searching for ‘mens engagement rings’ online globally each month.
In accordance with tradition, the engagement ring is ceremoniously slipped onto the left ring finger, symbolizing love and the acceptance of a marriage proposal. It embodies a pledge for the future, signifying the mutual desire of two individuals to dedicate their lives to one another.
Regardless of whether the couple consists of opposite-sex partners or shares the same gender, the sentiment and significance of commitment encapsulated by an engagement ring remain unchanged.
The days of engagement rings being made for women only are a thing of the past and multiple male celebrities have been seen wearing engagement rings. Engagement and wedding ring specialists at Steven Stone have revealed which celebrities flaunt one…
Brooklyn Beckham & Nicola Peltz
Brooklyn Beckham is a trend-setter known for having a unique, fashion-forward sense of style, so it’s no surprise that he wears an engagement ring alongside his one of a kind wedding band.
From looking at his wedding ring, it features a full set of emerald cut stones which could have been deliberate considering his wife, Nicole, also has an emerald cut engagement ring. The diamonds look to be around 0.4ct each, making this a £50,000 ring at least.
His engagement band is simple and understated, complimenting his new piece of bling perfectly. Our experts estimate this piece is probably worth around £10,000.
Nick Grimshaw & Meshach ‘Mesh’ Henry
Last April, Nick Grimshaw revealed his engagement to his model boyfriend Meshach ‘Mesh’ Henry by posting a closeup snap of his impressive engagement ring to Instagram.
Our leading diamond expert, Maxwell Stone, commented: “Nick Grimshaw’s ring is very unique and certainly makes a statement. In recent months, we’ve seen more people stepping away from traditional bands and opting for bolder pieces which stand out from the crowd, and Nick is certainly ahead of the trend.”
Over the last 12 months Google searches around men’s engagement rings have skyrocketed, now with over 31,000 searches a month globally, suggesting an increasing number of men will be wearing engagement rings in the future.
Nick’s ring looks to be around 10mm wide, set in 18k yellow gold, and features two white diamonds with VS clarity, which means they are of a very high quality. It’s likely to be worth around £5,000.”
