Men’s Engagement Rings
June 25, 2009
We all know that diamonds are a girl’s best friend but, what about the guys? We’ve looked at customs of other countries when it comes to engagements and marriage. In some countries, men and women wear wedding bands from the date of engagement and in other countries not only does the bride to be receive a ring the groom to be does as well. Engagement gifts for men vary widely from wrist watches, cars to an actual engagement ring.
We, here in the US, tend to think of a diamond engagement ring as something solely to be given to the bride to be and that’s great but, again what about the guys? Most men prefer not to wear jewelry for a whole host of reasons from finding it a bit effeminate, to their profession and/or they just find it uncomfortable. I can relate to the latter as at times wearing a ring, a bracelet or necklace even gets on my nerves and I love it. So, its no surprise that men would prefer not to wear jewelry.
So, what does one do? Well, I would say let your man choose his perfect wedding band. Men’s wedding bands can be custom made just like your diamond engagement ring. And Dora Bands has a whole host of men’s diamond wedding bands or men’s gold, men’s titanium or men’s platinum wedding bands. With Alexa Rose you have almost an endless supply of ideas from which to draw.
We’ll help you select an existing style from our showroom or we’ll help you create your groom’s wedding band. As a side note, if you have a family diamond we’ll re-set it for you in either a new diamond engagement ring, new diamond pendant or your own custom design. The hardest part will be finding the perfect ring or piece of jewelry. So, do not be afraid to ask us about options or being a bit creative. We’re glad to help.
When you think about it, one has almost as many options for a men’s wedding band as one does for a diamond engagement ring. Call us today at 480.656.0652 or email us (Sales@alexarosejewelry.com). We look forward to working with you.
Diamond Stud Earrings
Men’s diamond stud earrings, I know this sounds a bit off the wall but, stop and think about it for a moment. A diamond stud earring (the classic diamond stud earring) is perfect for a man, woman or child. Recently, I was enjoying dinner with friends and as it often does, the topic of my industry came up.
One of the gentleman at the table wanted to know if men purchased jewelry for themselves. The short answer, Yes. However, the majority of men are selecting gifts for their wives, girlfriends and their daughters. Yet, from time to time we do have men who come in looking for a ring or specifically, diamond stud earrings for themselves.
Well, needless to say, most of the men around the table were not completely shocked but were a bit surprised by it. Which lead to the next question, do you have to purchase a whole pair of earrings? In short, No. For diamond stud earrings, we would just make up a 1/2 pair for a client. We would not split up a matching set but it is possible to purchase a 1/2 pair of earrings.
So gentlemen, diamond stud earrings are not just for the ladies. We can create a diamond stud earring just for you. You can have the fun of selecting the perfect diamond for your earring in our boutique while sipping coffee and even watching a sporting event. Remember, diamond stud earrings can be worn by anyone, man, woman or child – I’m sure if you wanted, you could fashion a pair of earrings for your dog.
The most important factor if you’re purchasing a pair of diamond stud earrings is to ensure a matching set. Most jewelers will do this for you but, remember if you want something specific don’t be afraid to ask for it. They can have a pair made for you. There may be additional costs involved but again, ask the questions and weigh out your options. It might be the best decision for you. But be aware of the costs associated with going this route because the quality of diamonds that you select (certified vs. un-certified, G or better color, VS1, etc.) will have an affect on the price and there may be setting fees.
Remember, with us (Alexa Rose Fine Jewels), we’re flexible, we understand that your jewelry purchase is about your personal style not what we think your style should be; stop in today and visit with us to experience the Alexa Rose difference.
