Engagement rings, while historically a symbol of being ‘taken’ for women, are becoming increasingly common for men to wear as well. The trouble with finding an engagement ring for your special beau can be challenging. This is especially if they have a more manual profession. Here is some information about recent functional-yet-fashionable trends in men’s engagement rings!
 

Tungsten carbide Bands

Tungsten carbide bands provide durability and solidarity we all strive for in our relationships. Their durability is a characteristic derived from a union of elements, symbolising the bond between bride and groom. The rings themselves average ten times harder than mild steel, which is roughly equal to 18k gold. Not only is the unified aspect of tungsten carbide romantic, but it also ensures the band will last a lifetime.
 

Tungsten Carbide Grooved Rings

Grooved rings can be inlaid with various metals to present a very appealing visual factor, or left simply grooved, displaying depth within your interpersonal bond in matrimony. Some common inlays are 18k gold, rose gold, blue and red embellishment, and more.
 

Bevelled-edge Tungsten Carbide Bands

Bevelled rings have tapered outside edges, displaying qualities of compromise, a tapering slope representing a union between both sides of the ring. Bevelled edge rings can be adapted with beautiful geometric faces, appearing similar to stone settings.
 

Setting Stones In Tungsten Carbide Engagement Rings

Tungsten carbide rings are excellent candidates for setting stones. They are made of one of the hardest materials in existence. In addition to their durability, grooved tungsten carbide rings can hold multiple stones, depending on the band’s width. Stones can also be mounted into holes bored into tungsten carbide rings, much like silver and gold.

Tungsten carbide rings come in a variety of colours, varying between any of the inlay options mentioned above and more. Because tungsten carbide was developed for functional uses initially, these rings vary wildly in price, largely priced due to the jeweller who made the ring and how much customisation was required.

Any of these ring styles are likely to stay safe and out of his way while he is at work, but keep you close to mind and always in his heart. One of the best parts? These rings do not usually break the bank.
 

Stainless bands

Stainless bands are solid and durable, characteristics of a bond that cannot be tarnished by the test of time. Their durability comes from a union of elements, symbolising the bond between bride and groom.

Stainless rings come in a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes, varying between any of the inlay options mentioned above and more. Because stainless steel was developed for functional uses initially, these rings vary wildly in price, like tungsten carbide, largely priced due to the jeweller who made the ring and how much customisation was required.

The rings themselves average harder than mild steel, which is roughly equal to 18k gold. Not only is the unified aspect of stainless symbolically romantic, but it also ensures the band will last a lifetime.
 

Grooved Stainless Bands

Grooved rings can be inlaid with various metals to present a very appealing visual factor, or left simply grooved, displaying depth within your interpersonal bond in matrimony. Some common inlays are 18k gold, rose gold, blue and red embellishment, and more.
 

Stainless Bands With Bevelled Edges

Bevelled rings have tapered outside edges, displaying qualities of compromise, a tapering slope representing a union between both sides of the ring. Bevelled edge rigs can have beautiful geometric faces, much like with tungsten carbide rings.
 

Stones Set In Stainless Bands

stainless rings are excellent candidates for setting stones. They are made of very hard materials. In addition to their durability, grooved stainless steel rings can hold multiple stones, much like tungsten carbide rings. the number and size of stones placeable in stainless rings depend on the band’s width. Stones can also be mounted into holes bored into the ring, much like silver and titanium bands.

Stainless bands will make sure you both see how much you care, his band will never tarnish, neither should your love for one another. Plus, like tungsten carbide, they are usually budget friendly!
