In short: More Kiwi men are wearing engagement rings because the old one-sided convention no longer fits.

The two metals sit at opposite ends of the spectrum: titanium is light, modern and budget-friendly; platinum is dense, traditional and a serious investment. Both are legitimate choices, but they suit different hands, lifestyles…
Pinky rings have moved from niche accessory to a regular part of how Kiwi men dress, whether for work, weddings or weekends.
