THE MAN-GAGEMENT RING - DIAMONDS CAN BE EVERYONE'S BEST FRIEND!

You heard right, man-gagement ring. Don't laugh, we're not kidding. The engagement ring for men is a trend that's growing in popularity. Women are no longer the only ones telling the world they're taken with a little bling. More and more women are buying engagement rings for their future husbands and more and more men actually want to wear them. Infact, the demand for man-gagement rings has grown to the extent that high end designers are now including them in their collections of wedding jewelry stating that couples are looking for new ways to celebrate their love and publicly declare their intent for life long commitment before their big day.

Some skeptics just aren't buying it though and believe that in this rough economy the groom's engagement band is just a sales tactic, invented by jewelers to trick young couples into spending money, and don't believe there's a man out there who would be excited about showing off his shiny new engagement ring to his pals. The tradition of his and hers engagement rings however is said to date back to the 15th century. In many European countries couples exchange matching gold bands before tying the knot. Now the male engagement ring is starting to catch on here in North America too.

Brides.com conducted a pole asking women if they'd consider buying their fiancé an engagement band. 45% said yes. Would you?
