Jeweler H. Samuel is either attempting to broaden his target market or is just plain tired of the popular convention that dictates a woman wear an engagement ring until her wedding date; his brand new Tioro ring is meant to be worn as a men’s engagement ring.

According to the Daily Mail, H. Samuel is the only jeweler in Britain to offer engagement rings exclusively for men. The Tioro ring is a titanium band with a small diamond, priced at £79.99—a far cry from the blinged-out engagement rings that don the ring fingers of well-heeled women worldwide.

"Women are no longer waiting until the man pops the question. We are equals in the workplace, equals in our relationships and we make our own decisions. Over 60 per cent of our customers think it's a good idea for women to ask men to marry them and many are currently sealing the deal with watches and other jewellery. The men's engagement ring is a clear message to everyone that a man is going to be married and also works perfectly for civil partnerships." (dailymail)

Haha, no offense taken. I was just interested in the idea of men wearing engagement rings for a change. :)

Wow, so all this time only the woman wears an engagement ring in Europe and America? That's so weird. In the arab culture both the guy and the girl wear the engagement ring, I thought its like that everywhere, lol.

Ayman, My social scientist self shall be all too pleased to illuminate this a bit: Men didn't wear engagement OR wedding rings (in the west - I'm not sure about elsewhere) in any significant number until WWII when wives started sending them to their husbands as a sort of "reminder" of home. The feminist movement of the 1970's discouraged women from wearing wedding rings altogether as they considered them to be emblems of possession rather than love. There is historical basis for that belief... in earlier times, rings were given not to the bride, but the bride's father - like a bride price.
