Engagement rings: the best way to start a promise of love for eternity

Getting engaged is considered the first step towards a lifelong commitment of love, loyalty, honor and union between two people and it is natural for the human being to symbolize it with a ring. Traditionally, rings denote everlasting love, commitment, and happiness because they are round in shape, symbolizing that there are no beginnings or endings, but only continuity without interruption until eternity. Engagement rings were originally conceptualized and practiced during the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans. However, the modern version of this ring was popularized by royalty during the fourteenth and fifteenth society. It is pertinent to note that in the old days, only royalty could afford such rings, which is of course not true today.

Given the importance of engagement rings in our lives, choosing the right one becomes very important. There are several factors that need to be considered when choosing such rings, the first of which is the type of ring you want to buy for your fiancée. It is important that you choose a ring that suits her, both physically and her personality. There are different patterns of rings of this type that you can choose from, including those that have precious stones such as emeralds, diamonds and sapphires or those that are purely metal but have intricate designs. Depending on the preferences of your loved one, you can choose the perfect one.

If you choose engagement rings with gemstones, then it is important to choose one that completely suits your fiancée in terms of color. However, if you’re planning to give your loved one a diamond ring, in addition to choosing the right color diamond, you need to consider the three C’s, namely cut, clarity and carat. The cost of your diamond ring as well as its beauty will largely depend on these three factors. If you know your gemstones, you can buy such rings on your own, otherwise it is preferable that you get professional advice from an expert in the field. Making sure you meet the above factors will not only secure you a diamond ring with good value for money, but will also make your engagement perfect in every way.

The next thing to consider when choosing engagement rings today is the metal setting you would like. Traditionally, rings were yellow or white gold, sometimes even silver, especially when there was an intricate design instead of a stone, like Celtic rings. However, today we have a variety of metals including gold, platinum, white gold, and palladium. The shape of your fiancee’s fingers along with the shape and size of her hands and their color should all be taken into account when choosing the perfect metal frame. It is important to choose a small ring for someone with small hands and a larger one for someone with large hands. It is imperative that the ring not only fit perfectly on the finger, but also look good on the hand when worn. Precisely for this reason, jewelers often ask women to try several engagement rings on their fingers before choosing the right one. It will always do you good to know the size of your loved one’s ring before you go shopping for one, so that she can find one right away and not have to wait until it is resized.

Allocating enough time to search and finalize your choice of engagement rings is very essential and equally essential is making sure that the entire selection process is romantic, even if you choose something online. It is pertinent to note that this is something that is rarely done twice and therefore should be appreciated.

Lastly, there are several places where you can get engagement rings, including your local brick-and-mortar stores or online, both of which are available in abundance. However, if you want to make the right purchase and be sure of both quality and authenticity, it is important to do some research on various jewelers. Seeking recommendations from friends and family is an easy way to ensure you pick the right jewelry box.

In conclusion, it is best to say that engagement rings are the paths to the heart of your loved one and this is the reason why they are worn on the ring finger of the left hand. The vein leading from this finger is believed to go directly to the heart and therefore it is important that you choose the correct one when making your commitment for eternity.
