Engaging in the Extraordinary: A Diamond Ring for Him - BAUNAT's Crafted Excellence

The tradition of exclusive jewellery being solely a woman's domain has been redefined. Today, an increasing number of men are adorning themselves with high-quality rings and other striking accessories, including the diamond ring for him. This shift in trend isn't just a fashion statement but a manifestation of the individual's personality and style. At BAUNAT, we contribute to this evolving trend, offering exquisite, handcrafted jewellery from Antwerp, and helping to unveil your natural beauty.

Read summary

How are men redefining jewelry traditions with diamond rings?

Men's jewelry has evolved beyond tradition, with diamond rings becoming a powerful expression of personal style. BAUNAT embraces this trend, offering handcrafted pieces that complement the modern man's aesthetic.

When selecting the perfect ring, consider both material and design. Platinum and various gold colors can match your skin tone and desired look, while the setting should align with your lifestyle—pave or channel settings work well for active men.

From simple gold bands to sophisticated diamond rings (including black diamonds for a masculine edge), options abound. This trend is validated by celebrities like Elvis Presley and Johnny Depp, with rings now representing nearly one-third of men's jewelry sales.

Whether worn traditionally on the left hand or styled with coordinating accessories, a diamond ring from BAUNAT helps the modern man express his unique identity with timeless elegance.

Choosing the right precious metal

A piece of jewellery is a reflection of your personality. That’s why at BAUNAT, we offer a broad selection, including platinum and different hues of gold. From white gold for a cool skin tone or a modern look, yellow gold for warmer tones, to red gold for vintage enthusiasts, the choice is yours. Deciding on the precious metal and its color is crucial in creating the look you desire.

Band widths & profiles — comfort and style


Band widths & profiles - comfort and style The right band width and profile determine wearing comfort and appearance. Below are practical recommendations, linked to hand type and lifestyle: - 4–5 mm: subtle and elegant. Suitable for slim fingers or those who want to combine multiple rings. 

Works well for office wear and formal clothing. - 6–7 mm: all-round choice. Comfortable on average fingers and visually balanced for everyday wear. This range is popular among men who want a noticeable but not overly bold ring. - 7–8 mm and wider: solid and powerful. Recommended for wider hands or those who want a strong visual presence. 

Pay attention to comfort during intensive manual work. Profile choice - Court (curved inner side): offers high wearing comfort and is suitable for daily use. Recommended if you wear the ring constantly. - D-shape: combines comfort with a classic look, with a slight rounded top and flat sides. - Flat: more modern and sleek in appearance, but can be less comfortable on very slim fingers. - Bevelled/angled edges: gives a contemporary, architectural impression and works well as a statement piece. 

Lifestyle connection For physical work, a slightly wider but low-profile band is often the best choice: the ring remains stable and is less likely to be knocked. For office work or extensive screen work, mid-widths (6–7 mm) with a court or D-shape profile are ideal as they combine comfort with a neat appearance. These numerical guidelines make the choice concrete and help you select a ring that is both aesthetically and practically suited to your lifestyle.

Iconic ring wearers and their magnificent rings

Elvis Presley was renowned for his jewellery – BAUNAT
There is a long history of celebrity men proudly showcasing their rings. Elvis Presley’s fondness for precious stones and gold, Keith Richards's signature skull ring, and Johnny Depp's eye-catching engagement ring are testament to the popularity of rings among famous men. Recent data from the New York Times suggests that rings constitute almost 1/3 of the total share of men’s jewellery sold annually, indicating the increasing popularity of the diamond ring for him in the current era.

Which finger should he wear it on? - Symbolism and styling rules


Pinky The pinky finger represents individuality and status. A slim, eye-catching ring works best here: think of a signet ring or a slender band with a discreet accent. 

A pinky ring stands out without being overpowering and is suitable if you are looking for a characterful touch. Ring finger The ring finger is the most common choice for commitments. For everyday wear, choose a medium to wide band with a comfortable inner profile, or a diamond setting that is low and securely set. 

This finger suits classic, timeless designs. Middle finger The middle finger conveys strength and symmetry. 

Heavier, wider rings stand out well here and create a robust, modern look. Keep in mind that rings on this finger are more exposed to knocks; a low profile and secure setting increase durability.

Index finger The index finger expresses leadership and style. Statement rings or geometric designs work well here because the finger is highly visible. 
Comfort is important: choose a width and profile that does not easily bump against other fingers. Thumb A thumb ring is a bold style choice and works best with wide, architectural bands. This placement is less traditional and more of a personal expression. 

Pay attention to fit: the thumb sometimes requires different sizing. Rules for wearing multiple rings


  • Maximum per hand: for slender hands, 0–2 rings are recommended; for larger hands, 2–3 rings are visually balanced. Too many rings can create pressure and disrupt proportions.
  • Balance with watch and bracelet: if wearing a robust watch, keep rings more subtle; with a delicate watch, rings may be more expressive. 

Choose one statement piece per hand and keep the rest understated.

  • Match or contrast: for a polished look, metals can be coordinated (same color or finish). Contrasting metals work if you intentionally aim for an eclectic look; limit this to a maximum of two tones.
  • Proportion and band width: use band width as a visual reference. A wide band on a narrow finger often feels uncomfortable and can look overwhelming.
  • Fit and comfort: avoid wearing two tight rings on adjacent fingers if you speak or type a lot; they may rub. Combine a low profile ring with a wider ring on another finger to reduce friction.

The choice of which hand and finger to wear your ring on is subjective. For most men, wedding rings are worn on the left hand as per tradition. However, for other everyday rings, the choice is entirely up to you. Whether you opt for the pinky finger as a nod to tradition or the thumb to make a statement, there is no wrong choice.  

Harmonizing your ring with other accessories

Pairing your ring with other well-selected accessories can lend an air of sophistication. Maintaining a coherent color theme across your ring, bracelet, and cufflinks can create a visually striking ensemble.

Additional jewellery for men

Apart from diamond rings, BAUNAT also offers other luxurious pieces for men, including watches, cufflinks, tie pins, and bracelets. Choose from our broad selection to complement your style, whether you prefer the timeless elegance of a watch or the luxurious appeal of a diamond bracelet.
