Does a Perfect Men's Diamond Ring Exist?

Diamond rings are something that have always been popular with women, to be worn as jewelry that was more than just an engagement or wedding ring. Many women would have multiple rings on both hands, whereas, a man would typically not sport much more than a wedding band or pinkie ring. But things are changing rapidly and there has been an enormous increase in the variety of rings in general, and diamond rings in particular, available to men. And diamonds are to be found in many different types of ring for men, not only in wedding bands. Flashy jewelry has become the fashion thanks to rappers and hip-hop artists, and men's diamond rings are no exception.

What is it that men look for in the "perfect" diamond ring? Firstly, men now have a much wider choice of styles. You can find bands where there are several small diamonds that are in a channel setting, or a larger stone set with onyx stones, or even a bezel setting that highlights each stone’s setting, shape and size for uniqueness. It's possible to set the diamonds in different shapes, if you want to signify something, otherwise they are worn in a band. In any case, men's diamond rings still tend to be set in more metal, to them a more sporty, rugged or masculine appearance.

What makes a perfect men’s diamond ring can depend on the man’s style and personality. It used to be a stereotype that flashy diamond rings had a “used car salesman” look that denoted a negative trait such as narcissism or deceitfulness. Nowadays bling is cool - lots of entertainers wear it. A ring with a number of diamonds no longer suggest the negative image of former days, but men in any case tend to be more subtle, although in the end it depends above all on their personality. When looking for the perfect men’s diamond ring, you need to keep this in mind.

There are many styles and places to look for the perfect men’s diamond ring. Although you will probably be looking for a sturdier setting, to stand up to the usually more energetic lifestyle of a man, the quality of the stone should be paramount, just as in the case of a ring for a woman. Many men wear their diamond rings as a fashion accessory with suits or even with sweats, so this may be another consideration, when choosing the perfect men’s diamond ring. You are going to want a setting that won’t be getting caught on things, and cause the diamonds to come loose. Often a channel setting fits the bill for this in most cases.

Or perhaps you need to be looking for something a little more flashy, if your man is young and a rap or hip-hop follower. You'll find there is no shortage of choice for this type of ring, where the diamonds are worn more as a type of status symbol and lifestyle affirmation. The important thing is to fit the ring to the man's portrayed image or personality, not only to his finger! In the end, the perfect men's diamond ring only exists in the opinion of the wearer and the person watching, but at least there are now a very wide range of different styles, shapes, metals and settings from which to choose.
