Men's engagement and wedding ring enquiries are a growing share of custom orders

Requests for men's rings set with a visible diamond, rather than a plain metal band, have grown as a share of the custom orders we take.

• Flush and bezel settings dominate these requests, chosen for durability against a plain band's practicality rather than the prong settings common on traditional solitaires.
• Lab-grown stones are the more common choice for men's pieces in our order data, largely on cost given the larger stone sizes often requested.
• Matching a men's band to an existing engagement ring's metal and stone choice is one of the more common specific requests we see.

Durable settings suit daily wear better than delicate ones — our trade desk can talk through setting options built to hold up over years of regular use.
