A great engagement ring is a ring proving the fact that the person wearing it is employed to be married, especially in Western cultures. A engagement ring is presented as an engagement gift by a partner to their prospective spouse when they propose marriage or directly following a marriage proposal is accepted. It represents a official agreement to future marriage. In Western countries, engagement rings are worn mainly 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 hand side palm ring finger, but customs vary considerably elsewhere across the world.
A pair in a committed connection may give the other and wear pre-engagement rings, also called friendship or assure rings. Neither the proposal 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 the wedding, the engagement ring is usually put back on, and it is usually worn on the outside of the wedding ring. Some wedding brides have their engagement and wedding rings permanently soldered together after the wedding.
In many countries, engagement rings are placed 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 Holly Swinburne in A treatise of Spousals, or Matrimonial Contracts (1686). The story seems to have the origin in the historic Roman book Attic Nights by Aulus Gellius quoting Apion's Aegyptiacorum, where the alleged vein was originally a nervus (a word that can be translated either as "nerve" or "sinew").
The popular belief that the engagement ring was actually area of the bride price which represented purchase and ownership of the bride-to-be, has been called into question by modern day scholarship grant.
In the second century BC, the Roman bride-to-be was given two jewelry, a gold one which she wore in public, and one made of flat iron which she wore at home while focusing on house duties. At one time Roman citizens wore rings made from iron. In later years senators who dished up as ambassadors were given precious metal seal rings for established use when abroad. Later the privilege of wearing gold rings was extended to other public officials, then to the knights, later to all freeborn, and finally under Justinian, to freedmen. For many centuries it was the custom for Romans to wear iron rings at home, rare metal rings in public. Throughout this period a female or woman might receive two engagement rings, one of iron and one of gold.
In the Combined 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 establishing for engagement rings is the solitaire prong establishing, in 1886 and its 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 diamond occur the middle and smaller diamond jewelry on the side fit under this category. Three-stone gemstone engagement rings, sometimes called trinity rings or trilogy rings, are rings with three matching diamonds set horizontally in a line with the greater stone placed in the center. The three diamonds on the band are typically said to represent the couple's earlier, present, and future, but others give religious significance to the arrangement.
A wedding set, or bridal set, includes an wedding ring and a wedding band that matches and can be bought 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, a marriage set contains two rings that match stylistically and are worn stacked, although either piece would look appropriate as a separate ring. Even though 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 arranged includes a females proposal ring, ladies wedding strap and a men's wedding band. These sets often times have matching rings and are lower in price.
