The age of equality can be an exciting time. Greater freedom and greater self expression. If a couple want gender equality they can have it. When desired, the traditional roles can even be reversed. Not everyone is pleased or amused to see the groom emerge in the wedding dress but that’s the beauty of the freedom of choice. Each couple expressing their love in their own way and for many, the groom having their own engagement ring is a powerful symbol of that love. It’s not just a fashion statement. Love knows no boundaries and in the presence of freedom can swallow traditionalist cultural restrictions. For some, the mens engagement rings are about sharing; each partner having their own ring can form a powerful bond. The man can proudly display an attractive piece of jewellery on his ring finger that shows all the world that he is spoken for. When he looks at it or touches it, the engagement ring can bring him closer to his fiancee as he knows that she wears one just the same.
Traditionally in western cultures the engagement ring was worn by the woman. Nowadays of course there’s also the option of the woman proposing to her man, which can be an intensely liberating and empowering moment for her and an equally exhilarating and warm emotional moment for him. She can slip the beautifully crafted gold mens engagement ring onto his finger and he can be the one to wear it. It’s entirely up to her whether she sees the need to get down on one knee!
Male engagement rings can be just the thing for a same sex couple also. As one gay man proposes to another, the happiest moment in their lives can be all the more special when he offers him a chic looking ring that will look just great on him. Again, they can share the experience by having one each if they wish. Although they’re marketed as mens engagement rings they’re gaining popularity in the lesbian community too. It’s all about the freedom to step beyond traditional preconceptions about marriage, about gender and about stereotyping, and in the most beautiful of ways.
With their thick, masculine lines and charming gemstones, one of these engagement rings would of course add a touch of class to anyone’s hand as a regular item of jewellery when worn on a different finger.
