Collection: Mens Engagement Rings

While there are no strict rules, men's engagement rings often differ from women's in several ways:

• Width: Men's rings tend to be wider, typically ranging from 4mm to 8mm, compared to women's rings which are usually 2mm to 4mm wide.
• Design: Men's rings often feature simpler, more understated designs with clean lines and geometric patterns.
• Stone setting: When gemstones are included, they're typically set flush with the band or in more subtle ways compared to the prominent centre stones in many women's rings.
• Metal choice: Men's rings often prioritise durability, with tougher metals like platinum or palladium being popular choices.
• Finish: Matte or brushed finishes are more common in men's rings, while women's rings often have a high polish.

At Cushla Whiting, we believe that these are just guidelines. Our bespoke process allows for complete customization, so you can create a ring that suits your personal style, regardless of traditional gender norms.

At Cushla Whiting, we offer a range of high-quality materials for men's engagement rings:

Precious metals:

• Platinum: Extremely durable and naturally white, ideal for those who prefer a contemporary look.
• 18 karat gold: Available in yellow, white, and rose gold, offering versatility in colour and a classic appeal.

The choice of material often depends on factors like lifestyle, skin sensitivity, and personal style preferences. Our jewellery consultants can help you select the best material for your needs.

Absolutely! While some men prefer plain metal bands, incorporating gemstones into men's engagement rings is becoming increasingly popular. At Cushla Whiting, we offer various options:

Diamonds: These can be set flush with the band, channel-set, or used as subtle accents.

• We use both modern cut diamonds and unique antique cuts for added character.

Coloured gemstones: Sapphires, especially in darker hues like deep blue or black, are popular choices for men's rings.

• We source high-quality sapphires from various origins, each with unique characteristics.

Gemstone settings in men's rings are often more subtle than in traditional women's engagement rings. Popular options include:

• Flush settings: Where the stone sits level with the band's surface.
• Channel settings: A row of small stones set into a channel in the band.
• Inlay designs: Where stones are set into the band in geometric patterns.

Our bespoke process allows for creative gemstone incorporation that suits your style while maintaining a masculine aesthetic if desired.

Selecting the perfect men's engagement ring is a personal process. At Cushla Whiting, we guide you through this journey with the following steps:

1. Consider your lifestyle:

• If you work with your hands or lead an active lifestyle, opt for durable materials and low-profile designs.
• For office environments, you might choose more intricate or gemstone-adorned styles.

2. Reflect on your personal style:

• Do you prefer classic and understated or bold and unique?
• Consider how the ring will complement your existing accessories and wardrobe.

3. Choose your material:

• Select a metal that suits your skin tone and lifestyle needs.
• Consider mixed materials for a unique look.

4. Decide on gemstones:

• Determine if you want a plain band or one with gemstone accents.
• If including stones, consider colour, size, and setting style.

5. Select the width and profile:

• Try on different widths to see what feels comfortable and looks proportionate on your hand.
• Choose between flat, slightly domed, or more rounded profiles.

6. Consider unique details:

• Explore options like engraving, mixed metal accents, or textured finishes.

7. Think about matching:

• If you plan to wear a wedding band later, consider how the engagement ring will pair with it.

Our bespoke process allows for complete customization. We'll work with you to create a ring that perfectly reflects your style and story, whether that's a classic plain band or a unique design with custom elements. Our experienced team will guide you through each step, ensuring your ring is both meaningful and suited to your daily life.
