An engagement ring is a ring that is typically given during a marriage proposal. It’s a symbol of the promise to marry and often features a prominent gemstone, most commonly a traditional colorless diamond. Though gemstones are becoming increasingly popular. Engagement rings are traditionally worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, which is believed to have a vein that runs directly to the heart.
Deciding whether to choose an engagement ring together is very personal. While some prefer the element of surprise, many couples choose to pick out an engagement ring together. This ensures it is a ring your partner will love, that it is their size, and that it contains any and all meaningful touches.
Traditionally, engagement rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, stacked on top of the wedding ring. However, preferences can vary and in some cultures, women wear these rings on their right hand.
Choosing the right metal for your engagement ring setting is important as it affects how it looks, how durable it is, and even its longevity. Popular choices include gold (yellow, white, or rose), and platinum. Platinum is a pure metal, resistant to tarnish with hypoallergenic properties.
White gold is pure gold combined with alloys to achieve its color and offers a similar look to platinum at a lower price point, but may require replating. Yellow gold, a true classic, fits just about any design. And rose gold is great thanks to its romantic appeal. Don’t forget to take into consideration skin tone, lifestyle, and personal taste when choosing the metal for your engagement ring.
This depends on a few factors including customization and processing. Many jewelers have “ready-to-ship” options that can be sent out right away and arrive in a few days, whereas custom-designed rings can take several weeks. Remember that adding elements like personal engraving and other special modifications will add time.
