Argos  |  Press release

The rise of the 'metro-male' can no longer be ignored, from man bags to manicures, and with male celebrities such as Stephen Fry and Johnny Depp sporting engagement rings, it appears that modern men have found a new trend.

In response, the UK's largest jewellery retailer Argos has launched its first 'men-gagement' ring collection - offering an easy way for men to show devotion to their partner, what-ever their style. The collection features designs in stainless steel, titanium, sterling silver and gold, and precious and semi-precious stones for added luxury and sparkle.

 Stainless Steel Cubic Zirconia Matte Band Ring - £19.99

(309/4099)

Sterling Silver Diamond Eternity Ring - £99.99

9ct Gold 0.2ct Diamond Set band Ring - £199.99

(240/7285)

Alice Rigby, Jewellery Buying Manager at Argos, said: "We've seen such a demand for men's engagement rings that for the first time we have introduced a whole collection for the new season. We believe customers are being inspired by celebs such as Johnny Depp and most recently, QI Star Stephen Fry, who have been photographed proudly sporting their engagement bling. Our new range features a selection of modern metals and designs with more sparkle so whether you're looking for something understated or eye catching, there will be one for you."

Prices start at £19.99 and sizes range from R-Z. All products are available on argos.co.uk, where customers can reserve for free online for instant pick up from store.
