We recently received two requests for advice on men's engagement rings and I couldn't resist doing a little reconnaissance (and window shopping!) for some masculine rings that will totally make your dude say yes to the proposal. Maybe he wants a token to really feel engaged, it's a two-dude partnership where both want an engagement ring, or whatever the reason... equal engagement ring love for all!

My partner has expressed interest in an engagement ring. I am very excited to get him something special. He wants to express his commitment and enthusiasm about our engagement by also having a symbol to wear. I would love to get him an engagement ring and later a matching wedding band. - Callista

I'm thinking about proposing to my boyfriend, but I'm struggling to find a good engagement ring for him. Most advice on the subject suggests using your future wedding ring, but those are something I'd like to pick out together, whereas this is something from me to him. I'm looking for something practical and chunky that doesn't look like some kind of signet ring, that will sit nicely next to a wedding ring. - Mina

Thanks for the awesome questions, y'all!

Here are some masculine-friendly men's engagement rings with which to propose to your partner (some with an LGBTQ-slant!). Some can function as a set with another band and some work double-duty as a wedding band.
