Engagement rings serve as a symbol of commitment and declaration of intention. But if that is the case; why has it always been that it's women that commonly wear such rings? - Well, that's one question I might not be able to answer at this very moment. Nonetheless, there is a trend that is now emerging fast, and that is the use of engagement rings by men. Different styles of such rings [that relate masculinity and boldness] are now being designed by jewelers.

Long before now, jewellers tried to propagate management rings but got no encouraging response, and even though the use of engagement rings by men has been preserved over the course of time in some Latin American cultures; its popularization and/or wide range acceptance was not evident until about ten (10) years when celebrities started promoting the use of such rings. The management ring has now replaced the promise ring, and it is usually given to the man by woman. More intimately, women in the British Isles (during the leap years), are encouraged to give a (management) ring to men who seem to delay on proposal.

Unlike the women’s engagement ring, there are not so many options (in terms of designs) available for management rings. However, you will still find some distinctively charming designs: they are commonly made from platinum, white gold or titanium, and sometimes have embellishments or inlays of small diamonds and even wood. A very good example of an engagement ring that is commonly worn by men is the Claddagh ring.
