Collection: Discover the Perfect Men’s Engagement Ring

Wondering how your engagement ring should fit? At Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, we believe it should feel just right – snug enough so it doesn't slide off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle with a little effort. If you have a men’s engagement ring which is quite chunky you might find it feels a little tighter than a more delicate ring which isn’t as wide on the finger, so be mindful that wider rings might need to be slightly larger for a comfortable fit.

A well-fitting ring should sit comfortably on your finger without pinching or digging in. It should be easy enough to put on in the morning but slightly challenging to take off at night (when your fingers are typically a bit larger).

Remember, everyone's fingers can change size slightly due to weather, time of day, or other factors. If you're unsure about the fit, speak to use for some help. As specialists in bespoke, UK-made engagement rings, we're here to ensure your ring is as perfect in fit as it is in design.

Yes, many men choose to wear both an engagement ring and a wedding ring. The engagement ring is often worn on the ring finger of the left hand until the wedding day, at which point it may be moved to the right hand or worn together with the wedding ring. This tradition is becoming increasingly popular as more men want to symbolise their commitment during the engagement period.

Popular styles for men's engagement rings include classic bands, modern minimalist designs, and rings with unique textures or finishes. Some men prefer rings with subtle details like engraved patterns or a brushed finish, while others opt for rings with a single diamond or gemstone for a touch of elegance. Customisation options are also popular, allowing men to create a ring that reflects their personal style.

The best metals for men's engagement rings are typically durable and non-tarnish. Popular choices include platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. Platinum is popular due to it's strength and hypoallergenic properties, while white and yellow gold offer classic appeal. Each metal has its own unique qualities, so the choice depends on personal preference and lifestyle.

To determine the correct ring size, it's best to have your finger professionally measured by a jeweller. Alternatively, you can use a ring sizer tool or a printable ring size guide available online. Measuring your finger at the end of the day when it is slightly larger can help ensure a comfortable fit.
If the ring is a surprise, try borrowing a ring he already wears and have it measured by a jeweller. Alternatively I’m pretty good at guesstimating ring sized based on seeing a photo of the person. If we need to guess, don’t worry because we size our rings free of charge.

Yes, men's engagement rings can include diamonds or other gemstones. Many men prefer rings with a single diamond or a row of smaller diamonds for added sparkle. Other popular gemstone choices include sapphires, rubies, and emeralds. Gemstones can be set in various ways to suit different styles, from subtle accents to bold centrepieces.

The cost of a men's engagement ring can vary widely depending on the materials used and the complexity of the design. On average, a simple band may cost a few hundred pounds, while a ring with diamonds or custom details can range from £500 to several thousand pounds. It's important to set a budget that feels comfortable and work with me to find a ring that meets both your style preferences and financial considerations.

A men's engagement ring, similar to a women's engagement ring, is worn on the ring finger. The fourth finger on the left hand is considered to be the "ring finger".

Yellow gold is the most traditional metal for any engagement or wedding ring but especially men's. For a more sturdy and masculine metal, some men prefer a platinum or titanium ring to the tradtional gold.
