At Rings by Lux, we believe that everyone deserves to celebrate their engagement with a stunning ring.
Men's engagement rings are less traditional, but why should we let that stop us? One look at our collection tells you all you need to know - there's a perfect ring for everybody.
And boy, are you going to love our creative designs. We work with rare and precious materials, from meteorite fragments to guitar strings to dinosaur bone. Rings by Lux has changed the game for male engagement rings.
Feast your eyes. Make the perfect choice. Shop our collection now.
In traditional courtships, men only wear wedding bands, while women first wear an engagement ring before switching to the wedding band. This was because:
Fast forward to the present, and we're pleased to announce that everyone gets to have a lot more fun when choosing engagement rings. Here's why.
Male rings are now often made of hard-wearing substances like tungsten carbide and black zirconium. These are scratch-resistant and won't bend or deform under pressure.
This means that men with physical jobs can proudly wear their engagement rings to work. The same materials have improved men's wedding bands - it's saved people a fortune in having their wedding bands repeatedly polished and reshaped!
These materials are also more affordable than precious metals like yellow or white gold. While platinum is extremely hard-wearing, it's prohibitively expensive.
Engagement rings also don't cost as much proportionally as they once did. Precious metals used to be so costly that it was common to ask a smith to melt a silver spoon down into a ring to save money!
Last but certainly not least - how's a man going to propose to his boyfriend without a male engagement ring? And why does only one-half of the couple get to wear a beautiful ring anyway?
We're all about updating traditions. At Rings by Lux, we say that everyone deserves a ring for every occasion. If you're asking, "should I or shouldn't I", the answer is: yes. You should.
Start by browsing our collection and checking out the buying guide below!
Before you purchase an engagement band (or any item of jewelry for someone else), it pays to think hard about the person you're purchasing it for. This includes:
Armed with this knowledge, you'll be able to purchase jewelry that you know your partner will love. Getting it right the first time makes the moment so much more special and saves you the hassle of having to request a refund.
While it was once tradition to present an engagement band adorned with a diamond as a surprise at a special moment, it's more common today to give a partner prior notice and even involve them in picking out the ring. The proposal may use a "placeholder" or even no ring at all, with the happy couple then buying the perfect engagement band together.
While it may seem less spontaneous, this is a very sensible move. Ensuring that your partner is delighted with the ring they'll be wearing for the coming months or even years is thoughtful and considerate. It guarantees they'll feel joy every time they see it.
Here's a guide to everything you need to consider when you purchase a ring. Whether you're planning to surprise your partner or you're buying it together (or even buying a complementary band for yourself), you'll need to take these factors into account.
Does your partner favor big, bold jewelry, or do they favor more delicate items? Everything from the ring's dimensions to the finishing materials should coordinate with your partner's dress and preferred jewelry style.
Consider their wardrobe and what jewelry they already own. Speak to their close friends to find out if anyone knows there's a certain material (e.g. turquoise or abalone) that they love. This will help you shop with confidence.
Mens engagement rings are typically made from sturdier materials than traditional precious metals. Gold is soft, so if your partner works with their hands or enjoys crafting activities, yellow gold or white gold aren't great choices. Gold bends and scratches easily.
Tungsten carbide, black zirconium, and forged carbon fiber are all excellent choices for men's engagement rings. They're tough and virtually immune to scratches.
For a softer, lighter touch, wood is an excellent material for men's engagement rings. It's also a great choice for a modern wedding band - wood is a holistic, peaceful material, and you can find numerous gorgeous wood options in our shop.
Just because the ring's body should be made of a tough, scratch-resistant metal, it doesn't mean you can't include brilliant earth metals like yellow gold or platinum in the finish. Rose gold, yellow gold, and white gold all help a ring stand out and provide a contrast to the dark, powerful metals you'll find in our shop.
Why stop there? You can pair beautiful metals like rose gold with unique materials to create a stunning, personalized band. Some great options include:
This creates a stunning aesthetic and really makes the ring personal to the individual wearing it. When you purchase a truly modern band for your partner, you can shop for a ring that reflects their taste and personality.
Finding out your partner's ring size isn't as hard as you might think. Here are a few strategies for determining their ring size:
Take one of their existing rings to a jewelry shop. Choose a ring that they won't miss if it's out for the day! The jewelry shop staff will size the ring for free, and you'll have your answer.
Persuade a friend to take them ring shopping (because the friend wants to buy a ring). When they're at the store, the friend can innocently ask, "do you know your size?" and the shop staff will size your partner's finger for free.
Take your partner shopping to buy a ring for yourself! Use the same trick as in method #2. Be subtle - don't go checking out engagement rings with huge diamonds and tons of bling if you don't want to arouse suspicion. Instead, look at rings featuring stones like sapphire or emerald. You might even find a ring you love!
If you can't find out, don't worry. Getting the wrong size is incredibly common (especially when men buy rings for women and don't follow these tips). When you purchase your ring on the internet, it's very easy to get a refund and replacement in the appropriate size - just use the straightforward return service.
Men's engagement rings are often quite thick - common diameter measurements are 4-5mm, 6mm, and 8mm. An 8mm ring will be heavy and stand out on their finger, while a 4mm ring is much more discrete.
If your partner doesn't wear jewelry, it can be hard to know how thick they'd like the band to be. Consider their other fashion items - for example, do they wear large statement watches? If so, they probably prefer chunky jewelry.
Again, don't worry too much. You can always exchange the ring for a refund or replacement via the return service.

The subject of whether a woman should propose to a man always brings up debate. We're not here for that debate. At Rings by Lux, we encourage anyone who wants to propose to their partner and spend a life together to embrace the changes.
We can also provide a beautiful, engraved wooden box for the big moment. Make your proposal to your partner perfect - shop our collection and let us help you create an unforgettable experience.
Our men's engagement rings, like our wedding band collection, are designed to be gorgeous and practical. Choose from classic, elegant designs that pair perfectly with any aesthetic. Here's a guide to our engagement and wedding band materials.
Black zirconium has a matte finish that suits male jewelry perfectly. Its understated tone pairs perfectly with rose gold, yellow gold, platinum, or any other precious metal finish.
It's extremely durable and is a great choice for anyone who works a practical job.
Our Damascus steel rings include some of our most striking and unusual men's engagement rings and wedding bands. Damascus steel is made using an ancient technique that produces a wave-like finish and allows striking, iridescent colors to be introduced.
It's also very hardy. If you'd like to pair elegance with practicality, this is a great choice for your engagement ring.
Forged carbon fiber is one of the most durable and scratch-resistant materials there is. You'll get many years of service from one of our beautifully crafted carbon fiber rings without any sign of wear or tear.
This makes it a great choice for an engagement band but also for a wedding ring. It pairs beautifully with rose gold and yellow gold.
Another incredibly tough choice is tungsten carbide. It's commonly used for industrial drilling because it's so durable - hard stones or even diamonds would struggle to make a mark!
Tungsten carbide bands are sold in a variety of styles - some are shiny, some are matte, and all are gorgeous. No matter your preference, there's a stunning tungsten carbide ring for you in our collection.
Timascus is a combination of titanium and Damascus steel. It has a striking aesthetic, with the characteristic "twist" design of Damascus steel but the added toughness of titanium.
Wooden rings are simple, rustic, and beautiful. Lovingly crafted wood jewelry is becoming increasingly popular as tastes shift away from displays of material wealth and toward beautiful, wholesome jewelry that shows our personality.
We shape high-quality wood into beautiful, round bands that are the perfect choice for a proposal or a wedding service! Our options include:
It's not just about the low cost of unconventional jewelry compared to diamonds. It's about the personal commitment you're making to your partner. If you're thinking about a ring that your partner will love rather than going with convention, that's a great sign!
Our ring collection prides itself on being different. We include unique, rare materials in our rings so you can amaze your partner with a ring they'd never have thought existed.
Here's how we personalize our engagement and wedding bands.
They say that every boy has a dinosaur phase, but that's only half the truth. The full truth is that dinosaurs are incredible, and the chance to wear a ring with real dinosaur bone is something any man would jump at. He's going to love it.
You want classic? Forget diamonds. Try a ring crafted with real meteorite fragments.
Love is always a bolt from the heavens, and now you can wow your partner with one of the most unique and beautiful items of jewelry they've ever seen.
How do you know they're authentic? All our meteorite rings are taken from the Muonionalusta meteorite and have been subject to thorough authentication checks. Contact us to request details - we love talking about our collection.
Opal comes in every color of the rainbow. It's perfect for creating unique, dazzling rings that channel the wearer's personality.
We use opal alongside tungsten carbide and rose gold finishes to create a stunning, multi-tone band.
Ever have a date with a guy who spent the whole date playing you songs on his guitar?
Despite that experience, somehow, you're preparing for marriage with this man. And what better addition to the engagement ring than a guitar string woven into the design?
Jokes aside, these rings are perfect for the music lover in your life and truly show that you care.
Deer lose their antlers naturally after mating season. Antlers are incredibly beautiful and make for striking ring designs - all our rings using antlers are 100% cruelty-free.
Take a look at the stunning patterns available in our shop. Naturally-shed antlers carry potent energy on account of the beautiful animals that left them behind.
Abalones are iridescent, gorgeous seashells that sparkle with the colors of the rainbow. This pattern combines perfectly with silver or white gold, and also pairs nicely with wooden tones.
Turqouise is a tranquil, oceanic tone that is also associated with romance and harmony. It's the perfect choice for men's engagement rings as you plan to move forward with your life together.

Absolutely.
Why should men only have a wedding band? And why shouldn't you be able to propose to a man? Forget everything you've heard about how the man has to purchase a ring with a giant diamond for his lady - that's pure Hollywood.
Today, we're a little more sophisticated.
Anyone can enjoy a gorgeous wedding ring, and it doesn't have to include diamonds. There are numerous amazing materials and unique finishes that make a ring stand out more than a diamond ever could.
Yes! It's like wondering if a girl should ask a guy on a date - if you want to, do it!
Engagement bands are gorgeous, and they're a reminder that you're about to embark on the greatest journey of your life with the person you love. Why wouldn't anyone want to wear a beautiful engagement ring?
It's called an engagement ring!
On no account should anyone try inventing a new, "manly" name for male engagement rings. It is what it is - subject closed.
Either party can buy the ring. Whether you want to purchase a ring to go with your partner's, or you're proposing to your boyfriend, there's no "right" answer.
Contact our store to schedule service - message and data rates may apply if you call.
The strongest precious metal used for a male wedding band is platinum. However, platinum is very expensive, incredibly heavy, and may scratch.
Carbon fiber, black zirconium, and Timascus (which includes titanium) are all great choices. Check out our store.
The diamond ring is classic, and we're often told a diamond ring is the only way. Diamonds were historically a sign of wealth and status, but we feel a diamond ring is... kind of boring.
You can have so much more fun with the shape, design, and materials involved in your ring. Why choose a diamond when you can have meteorite shards or dinosaur bones? It's much more creative and fun!
