A good engagement ring is a ring demonstrating that the person wearing it is engaged to be married, particularly in Western cultures. A ring is presented as an engagement gift by a partner to their prospective spouse when they offer marriage or directly after having a marriage proposal is accepted. It represents a formal agreement to future relationship. In Western countries, proposal rings are worn mainly 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 hand side hands ring finger, but customs vary considerably elsewhere across the world.
A few in a committed connection may give the other person and wear pre-engagement rings, also called friendship or promise rings. Neither the wedding nor any other 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 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, proposal rings are placed on the ring finger of the left hand. From one time it was believed that this hand contained a vein (the vena amoris) that led to the heart. This idea was popularized by Holly Swinburne in A treatise of Spousals, or Matrimonial Contracts (1686). The history seems to have the origin in the old Roman book Attic Evenings by Aulus Gellius citing Apion's Aegyptiacorum, where the alleged vein was originally a nervus (a term that can be translated either as "nerve" or "sinew").
The popular belief that an engagement ring was initially part of the bride price which represented purchase and ownership of the bride, has been called into question by contemporary scholarship or grant.
In the second millennium BC, the Roman bride-to-be was given two rings, a gold one which she wore in open public, and one made from flat iron which she wore at home while attending to household duties. At one time Roman citizens wore jewelry manufactured from iron. In later years senators who offered as ambassadors received gold seal rings for established 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, precious metal rings in public. Throughout this period a girl 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 extensively featured in engagement jewelry since the middle of the 20th century. Solitaire rings have one single gemstone. The most common setting for engagement rings is the solitaire prong setting, 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 most of sparkle to the gemstone. The traditional engagement rings might have different prong settings and bands. Another major category is engagement rings with side stones. Rings with a larger gemstone placed in the middle and smaller diamond jewelry on the side fit under its kind. Three-stone diamonds engagement rings, sometimes called trinity rings or three set rings, are rings with three matching diamonds set horizontally in a row with the larger stone located in the middle. The 3 diamonds on the ring are typically said to represent the couple's earlier, present, and future, but other people give religious importance to the arrangement.
A new wedding set, or marriage set, includes an engagement ring and a wedding band that matches and can be purchased as a set. In some cases, the wedding band looks "incomplete"; it is just when the two halves, engagement and wedding, are assembled that the band looks whole. In other cases, being married 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, 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 losing one of the jewelry. A trio ring established includes a females proposal ring, girls wedding band and a men's wedding band. These sets often have matching rings and are lower in price.
