Amazing Mens Engagement Rings For 2010

By


Mens Engagement Rings

Buying the right engagement ring for men is every bit as delicate as it is with their counterparts. With enough forethought and research the male engagement ring field is spectacularly diverse, from elegant, minimalistic titanium rings to eye-catching and powerful gold trimmed behemoths. Knowing his personality, rather than pre-empting his tastes, is a surefire way to make the right selection. This should be a long term gift, afterall.

But that doesn't mean it has to break you financially. The aim of this guide is principally to offer a selection of quality rings for different budgets, while ensuring they are all of high quality. Please remember this are personal recommendations, and if nothing else they should give you a better idea of what is available out there for you.

Titanium Engagement Rings

Perhaps the most popular and accessible option in the mens engagement rings line are titanium variants.

Why are they so apt? The main attractions of Titanium rings are the fact that they are quite cheap, immensley durable, hypoallergenic (they shouldnt cause irritations and are generally suitable for all kinds of skin) and light, making them perfect for first-time users.

Titanium engagement rings come in many shapes and designs, after looking around, and reading some customer reviews I found my selection: These beautiful and strikingly cost effect 7-8mm rings (pictured right).

These beauts come with the following features:

  • Come with their own box (free)
  • 9 large channel set Cubic Zirconia
  • Stones are almost indistinguishable from real diamonds (you could save that for the wedding)
  • Reviews betray flawless detail
  • 100% money back guarantee

Tungsten Engagement Rings

Tungsten carbide is a surprisingly perfect element for a ring production. Titanium engagement rings are as tough as nails. Incidentally, their durability gave rise to a popular urban legend that dictates that they cannot be removed in emergency situations and necessitate amputation of the finger -- which is absolutely untrue of course.

Tungsten rings are notorious for their durable finish, which gives the ring a mirror-like quality for decades, in addition to being thorough corrosive and scratch proof. Despite this, inlaying is possible, though engraving (even with a diamond tip) is not.

My picks were these beveled edge designs which are marvellous in their minimalistic elegance. Not the best choice for the flamboyant perhaps, but a good long-term guess for the rest of us.

What do I like about these other than their design?

  • This rings, in addition their material base are pretty darn manly.
  • Never needs polishing
  • Scratch proof
  • Second only to diamond on the Mohs scale (hardness)
  • hypoallergenic
  • 100% money back and free shipping ;)
  • You won't lose a finger -- guaranteed!

Diamond Engagement Rings

For those who laugh in the face of a financial investment, there is nothing as majestic and quintessentially magical as a diamond ring. There is of course the lingering ethical question of where your diamond came from, and whether it is tainted by slavery and bloodshed. But generally speaking you can put your mind to rest.

I could serenade you on why the chemical properties of diamonds make them so popular, but I'm sure you will be satisfied in knowing that they are -- quite literally -- rock solid.

My choice of diamond ring was this 14 Karat white gold wonder. As a guy, I have to say the aesthetics were the first eye-grabber, an appealing mix of design and minimalism, which suits me perfectly (ho-hum). But the features and the price tag are no less impressive:

  • 14 Karat White Gold
  • 0.22 Karat Weight
  • The rings is almost colorless!
  • Six month financial planning (via Amazon only I'm afraid!)
  • Astonishing SI color
