An engagement ring is a ring indicating that the person wearing it is involved to be married, especially in Western cultures. A ring is presented as an engagement surprise by a partner to their prospective spouse when they propose marriage or directly after a marriage proposal is accepted. It represents a formal agreement to future relationship. In Western countries, engagement rings are worn generally by women, and jewelry 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 palm ring finger, but traditions vary considerably elsewhere across the world.
A pair in a committed connection may give each other and wear pre-engagement rings, also called friendship or guarantee 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 often by the bride onto the groom's finger. Following your wedding, the engagement ring is usually put back on, and is also usually worn on the outside of the wedding ring. Some birdes-to-be have their engagement and wedding rings permanently soldered together after the wedding.
In many countries, engagement rings are positioned 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 resulted in the heart. This idea was popularized by Henry Swinburne in A treatise of Spousals, or Matrimonial Contracts (1686). The history seems to have their origin in the ancient Roman book Attic Times by Aulus Gellius quoting Apion's Aegyptiacorum, where the alleged vein was actually a nervus (a term that can be converted either as "nerve" or "sinew").
The popular perception that an engagement ring was actually section of the bride price which represented purchase and ownership of the bride-to-be, has been called into question by contemporary scholarship.
In the second millennium BC, the Roman bride-to-be was given two rings, a gold one which she wore in public, and one made from flat iron which she wore at home while attending to household duties. At one time Roman citizens wore rings made from iron. In later years senators who offered as ambassadors were given rare metal seal rings for recognized use when abroad. Afterwards the privilege that comes with rare metal rings was extended to other public officials, then to the knights, later to all freeborn, and finally under Justinian, to freedmen. For a number of centuries it was the custom for Romans to wear flat iron rings at home, gold rings in public. During this period a lady or woman might receive two engagement rings, one of iron and one of gold.
In the Usa States, where engagement rings are worn by women, diamonds have been widely featured in engagement bands since the middle of the 20th century. Solitaire rings have one single diamonds. The most common environment for engagement rings is the solitaire prong setting, in 1886 and the 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 might have different prong settings and rings. Another major category is engagement rings with side stones. Rings with a larger gemstone placed in the middle and smaller gemstones on the side fit under this category. Three-stone diamonds engagement rings, sometimes called trinity rings or trilogy rings, are rings with three matching diamonds set horizontally in a line with the greater stone located in the middle. The 3 diamonds on the band are typically said to represent the couple's past, present, and future, but other people give religious importance to the arrangement.
A new wedding set, or wedding set, includes an proposal ring and a wedding band that matches and can be purchased as a set. In some cases, the wedding engagement ring looks "incomplete"; it is only when the two halves, engagement and wedding, are assembled that the engagement ring looks whole. In other cases, a marriage set contains two rings that match stylistically and are worn stacked, although either piece would look appropriate as a separate ring. Although the wedding band is not to be worn until the wedding day, the two 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 losing one of the rings. A trio ring set includes a girls proposal ring, females wedding band and a men's wedding band. These sets often times have matching rings and are lower in price.
