Union Diamond

We’d like to start out this blog with an apology to our male readers out there. We’re always talking about jewelry for the ladies and engagement rings for the ladies, but what about you, the men? Recent studies have shown that 17% of you would wear what is now being termed as a ‘man-gagement’ ring. And I’m sure that number would be a whole lot higher if a larger portion of the male population had either a, heard of the concept, or b, knew what the heck a man-gagement ring even was. 

Well, men, that’s what you have me for, to bring you the latest and sometimes strangest in diamond and jewelry fashions. Upon further research, man-gagement rings aren’t a totally new phenomenon. In many countries around the world it is entirely normal and common for both a man and a woman to wear a ring signifying an engagement. However the trend is still quite new and unusual for the American audience. But I think it’s a great idea. Why should girls have all of the diamond fun anyways? And this is also the perfect thing for those of you guys out there who feel that updating your Facebook status just isn’t enough. And for the record, I have done exhaustive research on this matter and have determined that American men are indeed ready for the man-gagement ring. And by exhaustive research, I mean I asked my fiancé if he’d wear one. He said he would so there you go. 

So now that your interest is piqued and you now realize that you simply must have one of these rings, here are a few examples that I think would be lovely, er… rugged and manly. And what better place to start than with a simple band which we have available in Palladium, Platinum, White and Yellow Gold. This is a great look for the simple man. It’s clean, and masculine in design, making it perfect for those strong, silent types. See, it’s stunning isn’t it?

Now if plain and simple isn’t your style, how about a band with a design or some fantastic engraving like the one below. The simple chevron pattern gives an effortless amount of style and interest and its perfect for those guys who want just that little something extra. The closer you get to this ring, the more you notice its hidden depths. The subtle milgraining dividing the engraving from the smooth metal, it all works together seamlessly. 

And finally, for those of you who aren’t afraid of a little sparkle. And I mean, who doesn’t like a little sparkle? Ok that may be just me. But this ring is perfect for the manly bling connoisseurs amongst us. This band has a high polish with a band of brushed metal down the center. The brushed look is a perfect counterpoint to the shine and fire of the round brilliant diamond that has been cunningly set flush into the band. It’s a brilliant feat of engineering and simple style that’s perfect for a guy who dares to be different and loves to be a trendsetter. 

Now, these are gorgeous examples of what a man-gagement ring could be. But men, don’t limit yourselves to these three options.
