The Appeal of Diamond Rings for the Discerning Man
While men previously shied away from embellishments on their jewellery, we’ve seen a huge increase in interest in diamonds from our male shoppers in recent years. Diamonds are a symbol of style, wealth and success globally. Whether you are looking for a diamond wedding ring or a piece of jewellery to add to your collection, diamonds are the perfect option for any man.
Defining the Style of the Modern Man
One of the reasons we are so passionate about diamonds in men’s jewellery is that they fit with the individual style of almost any man. No matter what you do or how you spend your free time, you’ll find diamonds to be a versatile addition to your wardrobe for almost any occasion.
The Evolution of Men’s Diamond Rings
As the jewellery market has developed over the years, so have the designs on offer to men.
From Classic to Cutting-Edge
With changing attitudes come changing styles. While more classic designs are still available, modern rings are more ‘cutting-edge’. Silver, gold and platinum are primarily used as the base material, with the sizes and numbers of diamonds in modern rings varying according to design.
Modern Designs Shaping Today’s Masculinity
Previously, diamond rings were seen as a more feminine choice, but with more male media personalities embracing diamond accessories, that principle has changed. When you browse our selection of diamond rings for men, such as this 18K Rose and White Gold Diamond Men’s Band, you’ll notice how subtle the addition of diamonds can be.
Exploring Two-Tone Rings: Silver and Gold
As the two most popular jewellery metals, silver and gold can be combined to create eye-catching, stylish rings.
The Significance of Combining Metals
Combining silver and gold is a way to add more colour and interest to any outfit. The contrast between the two colours really enhances both the silver and gold. This 18K Two Tone Brushed Effect Men’s Band is perfect for anyone who originally thought they wanted a silver band, as the small gold bands help to enhance the appeal of the silver ring.
Styling Tips for Two-Tone Diamond Rings
One of the reasons we love two-tone diamond rings is that they can be worn with almost any outfit. Silver and gold really stand out when you are wearing black or a single colour, and a two-tone diamond ring – just one for effect – would be a great addition to any formal event outfit.
The Resurgence of Letter Rings and Signet Rings
Another trend that’s come back into style in recent years is wearing letter and signet rings. While these are more traditional profiles of men’s diamond rings, you’ll find they fit well with modern wardrobes thanks to the updated designs on offer today.
Symbolism and History
Many of us choose jewellery items because they tell a story or signify something special to us. In the past, jewellery was used to show a family’s heritage or share their story. Jewellery is often passed down through generations and when you invest in letter rings or signet rings that mean something to you, you’ll be able to consider passing it down to a loved one in the future.
Incorporating Letter and Signet Rings into Modern Wardrobes
Our 22K Solid OM Symbol Ring is an example of how a symbol can become the predominant part of the jewellery while still offering an item that can be worn every day. As many of them are made from one colour or have a simple but bold design, they will go with almost every fashion choice you make. Please contact us should you wish to custom-design a ring. We are happy to assist.
The Elegance of Three-Row Dress Rings
Three-row dress rings are an elegant option for anyone looking at men’s diamond ring designs. They are ideal for formal and special occasions and will soon become one of your favourite pieces of jewellery.
Design Features and Appeal
A three-row ring creates the impression of wearing multiple rings. Our 22K Lined Ring is a good example of this style. You’ll only be wearing one ring – a dynamic jewellery choice.
When to Wear Three-Row Dress Rings
Three-row dress rings are ideal for formal or special occasions, such as large business events, formal dinners or weddings. They add the perfect finishing touch to a tuxedo or business suit. Understated, they add an interesting and classy touch to your outfit.
Selecting the Perfect Diamond Ring
Having decided you want to invest in a diamond ring, you’ll want to consider the following to ensure you find a ring that’s a good fit for your collection:
Diamond Quality and Craftsmanship Essentials
The quality of your diamond will dictate how long this piece of jewellery will last. The size of the diamonds used in men’s diamond ring designs vary from small studs to larger stones. Consider the classification and cut of the diamond. Also, appreciate the setting and craftsmanship that’s gone into the ring. An oval cut is a timeless option, while an Asscher cut brilliantly reflects light.
Style Considerations for the Assertive Man
As an assertive man, you’ll want to find a ring that reflects your personality. The designs we’ve discussed here today will fit well with most business and formal outfits but can also be worn on a regular basis. Choosing the base metal of your ring will most likely be your hardest choice, which is why many men lean towards a two-tone ring.
Matching Your Ring to Your Personal Aesthetic
Modern men’s rings are designed to fit the aesthetic of almost any individual. Whether you have a classic, modern or unique style, consider how your new investment will fit into your wardrobe. Don’t purchase a ring that doesn’t match your current wardrobe. Instead, choose one that works with your style and that you’ll enjoy wearing.
Symbols of Power, Strength and Distinction
Formed under pressure over millions of years, a diamond is the hardest material known and is used in cutting and mining industries. A diamond ring is therefore a symbol of power, distinction and strength, which is why many men purchase one to mark an achievement or special event.
