Traditionally, men’s engagement rings were relatively simple in terms of their design and style. The thought was that men preferred understated, modest engagement rings and that the flashier, more complex ring designs should be reserved strictly for women.

Nowadays, an increasing amount of men are opting for more modern, eye-catching engagement ring designs, perhaps it’s to do with the fact that men’s engagement rings have become a common commodity or maybe it’s to do with the emergence of the more fashion-conscious, metrosexuals. This year’s hottest trends in men’s engagement rings include intricately designed engagement rings, unusual engagement ring settings and two or three toned bands.

Intricate designs

2011 men’s engagement rings feature elaborately designed engagement rings, intricately crafted bands, incorporating complexly arranged diamonds and/or other precious gemstones.  Etched bands engraved with tantalizing patterns, cleverly crafted textured and burnished bands and intertwined, braided bands are at the height of their popularity.

Unusual engagement ring settings

Traditional engagement ring settings such as the prong setting, the channel setting or the bezel setting are out and more modern, contemporary engagement ring setting design such as the cluster setting and the tension setting are in. For those men who are looking for a diamond or precious gemstone studded engagement ring, these settings have proven to be particularly agreeable, cluster settings for their eye-grabbing, stunning diamond and gemstone arrangements and tension settings for their more demure and elegant appeal.

Two and three toned engagement bands

Traditional engagement rings for men were made of a single, simple yellow gold band. However, this year, two and three toned bands are favored by many a man looking for a more modern twist on the traditional engagement ring. Men’s engagement rings can be made with virtually any type of semi-precious or precious metal, ranging from copper to platinum, yellow gold to sterling silver, white gold to stainless steel. 2011 men’s engagement rings not only incorporate two or three tones of precious metals, they also feature colorful precious metals such as green gold, black gold and even red gold.

Diamond color should also be taken into consideration when choosing a precious metal for the ring’s band as it is important to choose a precious metal that’ll really bring out the diamond’s natural beauty and hue.  These colorful precious metals add a definite touch of whimsy and playfulness to a ring, making them increasingly popular when it comes to men’s, as well as women’s, engagement rings.
