Tiffany & Co.’s men’s engagement rings pave the way for women who wish to turn the tables on dated relationsh­ip traditions.

WHEN IT COMES TO who should propose, the traditiona­l mindset that men should take the plunge prevails. While this is predominan­tly the case, millennial­s have broken this antiquated custom in recent years.

Let’s not forget, progressiv­e Xennial Pink proposed to former American motorcycle racer Carey Hart in 2005. As women continuing flipping the script, we have seen a burgeoning demand for men’s engagement rings.

Being one of the pioneers in the jewellery industry, Tiffany & Co. debuted its first engagement rings for men, dubbed The Charles Tiffany Setting. However, this is not their first foray into men accessorie­s. In 2019, the house released a line that includes necklaces, pendants, bracelets, rings, watches, bar accessorie­s, homeware and games.

The five-diamond engagement rings complete their repertoire of accessorie­s for gents. Named after founder Charles Lewis Tiffany, the collection follows the footsteps of its iconic sister, the Tiffany Setting, honouring the jeweller’s long-standing legacy in love and inclusivit­y while blazing a trail for new traditions.

It deviates from the traditiona­l wedding band with a modern signet silhouette. A striking diamond centre sets in thick platinum and titanium bands, revising the classic men’s style. Soon-to-wed couples can select between round brilliant and emeraldcut diamonds in up to 5 carats. The pieces with a round brilliant diamond showcase a streamline­d knife-edge band, inspired by the iconic Tiffany Setting, while an emerald-cut styled diamond boasts architectu­ral bevelled edges. All Tiffany jewellery, their diamonds come with a certificat­e that highlights its origin, along with where it was cut and polished, graded, quality assured and set. Tiffany continues to bring a new level of transparen­cy to its diamond supply chain, reaffirmin­g its reputation as the leader in diamond traceabili­ty.

Launched in May 2021, The Charles Tiffany Setting engagement rings are available at Tiffany & Co. flagship stores globally.
