Has anyone bought their honey an engagement ring? I know it is rare to buy a man an engagment ring. I was just curious.

I did. Had it made especially for him. Mine was so special I wanted to do something for him.

I did as well. It's a pretty simple titanium band. He's in the military, and after being seriously approached by another soldier (who he outranks) he was very uneasy. So we decided on him wearing a band as well. After the wedding, it will become the band he wears when he works around the house, plays basketball, etc.

I have not considered it but it sounds like a sweet gesture. My sweetie is a Mason and I have thought abt getting him a Masonic ring; maybe that can be considered something of an engagement ring. Some of those rings can be designed to fit the person that you are buying it for. I think I might look into something like that.....

Well I guess it is not so rare after all. I was thinking about surprising my Sweetie, because he is so good to me I just wanted to show him my appreciation.

I am getting my honey an engagement ring. It was his idea. And I think that makes us unique and set apart from other couples. His wedding band will have diamonds in it, so his engagement ring will only be a plain band. He'll switch the two once we are married.

I got one for Eloi too. I loved mine and I did want everyone to know he was taken! lol. Look at men's rings at DI. They have really inexpensive ones and they are a great quality. Fun too. Why is men's jewelry so much less than ours????

Thanks for the post Rosetta, I will check it out. Mens jewelry is so much cheaper than ours because someone came up with the slogan "diamonds are a girls best friend!". I personally love the ice (lol)!!!!

It was Carol Channing that coined that phrase. She rolled like that in real life and wrote a song about it too. lol Wanna hear it? lol. I live in DI jewelry myself I really like them.

Hmmm!...male engagement ah?...interesting, I like the idea.

Hi ladies!

I have been lurking in here for a while and I have finally built up the courage to make a post. I personally love the idea of male engagement rings. I found this site useful when i was looking for a ring for him. He loves it too, and makes the relationship that much more meaningful and special. Maybe I will start posting now, I just had to share where I got him his ring.

I understand your fear, and thank you for your welcome, I am in no way affiliated with any jewelry store (I work at a grocery store though :P). I used to go to so many forums but they all started getting over ran with spam, and now I don't go to them as much.

To stay on topic, For some men I imagine it is really really nerve racking to propose, that is why i like the idea of an outgoing women to be strong and pop the question. This isnt the 60s.

Edit for horrible spelling

Well, in that case, welcome to the site Sam Fisher!

I like the idea of a male engagement ring but it is not so popular in the UK. My FH has always said that he wouldn't mind a bit of bling! I'll just get him an extra special wedding band!

well i would'nt say i actually got my fh an engagement ring, but he is getting two rings, one to wear to work that is just a plain white gold band. his "dressed up" ring is one and a half carrots and to me that qualifies as an engagement ring, some women don't get rings that heavy!

Up until now, I don't think I ever thought about getting my FH an engagement ring. BUT now I'm going to start looking. I think he would be really surprised!!!

oh by the way WELCOME niki!!
when is your big day???

Male engagement rings are sometimes called promise rings too. Let the world know he is off the market! LOL It is a pleasant surprise and some guys will actually enjoy wearing one!

I did....We got engaged 2/18/07 and I surprised him with a ring on his bday 11/25/07. I had a speech and everything prepared. He received an engagment ring and the matching braclet...He loved it and wears it faithfully
