12 men's wedding bands to blow your dude's mind – geeky, classic, and more! [UPDATED!]
Women's wedding bands come in all shapes, sizes, colors and styles, and a lot of the time men's choices are boiled down to "gold" or... Read more
We recently received two requests for advice on men's engagement rings and I couldn't resist doing a little reconnaissance (and window shopping!) for some masculine rings that will totally make your dude say yes to the proposal. Maybe he wants a token to really feel engaged, it's a two-dude partnership where both want an engagement ring, or whatever the reason… equal engagement ring love for all!
My partner has expressed interest in an engagement ring. I am very excited to get him something special. He wants to express his commitment and enthusiasm about our engagement by also having a symbol to wear. I would love to get him an engagement ring and later a matching wedding band. – Callista
I'm thinking about proposing to my boyfriend, but I'm struggling to find a good engagement ring for him. Most advice on the subject suggests using your future wedding ring, but those are something I'd like to pick out together, whereas this is something from me to him. I'm looking for something practical and chunky that doesn't look like some kind of signet ring, that will sit nicely next to a wedding ring. – Mina
Thanks for the awesome questions, y'all!
Here are some masculine-friendly men's engagement rings with which to propose to your partner (some with an LGBTQ-slant!). Some can function as a set with another band and some work double-duty as a wedding band.

I was one of the question askers 🙂 I actually went with this, since Whitby is a place that means a lot to both of us. The ring itself is lovely, but dealing with the jewellers was a pain. They’re, uh, not very communicative, shall we say? It’s taken us four months to get it exchanged for a smaller size. But it’s done and dusted now, and he’s very happy with this ring.
(the cutest thing is I went to propose to him with it, and he pulled out a ring for me! My attempts to subtly get his ring size apparently weren’t very subtle)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! My boyfriend and I agree that I’m going to be the one to propose to him… and I’ve thought of tons of ways, but nothing says “get legally tied” like a ring, in my opinion.
These are incredible finds — and honestly, my lady fingers would love to wear about half of them (especially that first one, it’s been on my wish list for ages). Gotta get the husband into a less work-with-his-hands job so he can get a ring with a stone.
