An engagement ring is a ring indicating that the person wearing it is engaged to be married, specially in Western cultures. A band is presented as an engagement surprise by a partner to their potential spouse when they propose marriage or directly following a marriage proposal is accepted. It represents a conventional agreement to future marriage. In Western countries, proposal rings are worn mostly by women, and rings can feature diamonds or other gemstones. In some cultures men and women wear matching rings, and engagement rings may also be used as wedding rings. In Anglo-Saxon countries, the ring is customarily worn on the left hands ring finger, but traditions vary considerably elsewhere across the world.
A few in a committed relationship may give one another and wear pre-engagement rings, also called friendship or promise rings. Neither the proposal nor any other engagement ring is worn during the wedding ceremony, when the wedding ring is put by the groom on the finger of the bride as part of the ceremony, and frequently by the bride onto the groom's finger. After the wedding, the engagement ring is usually put back on, and is also usually worn on the outside of the wedding ring. Some brides have their engagement and wedding rings permanently soldered together after the wedding.
In many countries, engagement rings are located on the ring finger of the left hand. At one time it was believed that this little finger contained a vein (the vena amoris) that led to the heart. This idea was popularized by Henry Swinburne in A treatise of Spousals, or Matrimonial Contracts (1686). The story seems to have their origin in the old Roman book Attic Times by Aulus Gellius quoting Apion's Aegyptiacorum, where the alleged vein was initially a nervus (a word that can be translated either as "nerve" or "sinew").
The popular perception that an engagement ring was initially section of the bride price which represented purchase and ownership of the bride, has been called into question by contemporary scholarship.
In the second century BC, the Roman bride-to-be was given two rings, a gold one which she wore in general public, and one made of iron which she wore at home while attending to house duties. At one time Roman citizens wore jewelry made from iron. In later years senators who offered as ambassadors received precious metal seal rings for established use when abroad. Later on the privilege of wearing precious metal rings was extended to other public officials, then to the knights, later to all freeborn, and finally under Justinian, to freedmen. For several centuries it was the custom for Romans to wear metal rings at home, gold rings in public. Throughout this period a female or woman might receive two engagement rings, one of iron and one of gold.
In the United States, where engagement jewelry are worn by women, diamonds have been broadly featured in engagement jewelry since the middle of the 20th century. Solitaire rings have one main single gemstone. The most common setting for engagement rings is the solitaire prong establishing, in 1886 and their six-claw prong setting design sold under the "Tiffany setting" trademark. The modern favorite cut for an engagement ring is the brilliant cut, which provides the maximum amount of sparkle to the gemstone. The traditional engagement rings could have different prong settings and bands. Another major category is engagement rings with side stones. Rings with a larger diamonds occur the middle and smaller gemstones on the side fit under this category. Three-stone precious stone engagement rings, sometimes called trinity rings or trilogy rings, are rings with three matching diamonds established horizontally in a row with the bigger stone placed in the center. The about three diamonds on the band are typically said to represent the couple's previous, present, and future, but others give religious importance to the arrangement.
A new wedding set, or bridal set, includes an wedding ring and a wedding band that matches and can be acquired as a set. In some cases, the wedding engagement ring looks "incomplete"; it is just when the two halves, engagement and wedding, are assembled that the engagement ring looks whole. In other cases, being married set involves two rings that match stylistically and are worn stacked, although either part would look appropriate as a separate ring. Although the wedding band is not to be worn until the wedding day, both rings are usually sold together as a wedding set. After the wedding, the bride may choose to have the two pieces welded together, to increase convenience and reduce the likelihood of dropping one of the rings. A trio ring set includes a females proposal ring, females wedding band and a men's wedding band. These sets often times have matching rings and are lower in price.
