Ring for marriage proposal

The ring for a marriage proposal is the most significant decoration in the life of every woman. It is a symbol of love, devotion and loyalty. It confirms the seriousness of the intentions of the man, makes the engagement day a memorable and happy event. From how seriously a man approaches the choice of a gift for his beloved, may depend on the answer of his chosen one.

The ring for a marriage proposal is called the engagement. The custom of giving jewelry for engagement has an interesting story. Earlier, the engagement party was of a completely different nature: the parents of the bride and groom agreed on it, discussing the dowry and other issues concerning the mutual benefit of the union.

Initially, the tradition of giving a ring originates in ancient Rome. Then this jewelry was presented as a gift to the bride's parents. The accessory was made of iron, symbolizing the viability of the groom. Breaking the engagement was unacceptable, it meant significant compensation payments to the affected family and a refund of money already invested in the wedding.

This custom is known in Europe. At one time, the Austrian Duke Maximilian presented a ring with a large diamond to the daughter of the King of France, Mary of Burgundy. Thus, he decided to prevent the rejection of the wedding. Since then, the custom has spread around the world, with a special meaning: the ring is given when they make an offer to their beloved. By accepting or not accepting a gift, the girl gives an answer to the marriage proposal.

In Russia, there was a ritual "collusion", no less significant than the wedding. One of the invariable traditions of collusion was the giving of a special gift - on this day the groom gave the bride a ring with a stone. Later, the ceremony was combined with the wedding, and then - the wedding.

Today the engagement talks about the seriousness of the intentions of the man himself. This grand event is of great importance in the life of both lovers: it is romantic and reverent. This is another reason to tell each other about your feelings. The ring is put on the ring finger of the right hand.

Typically, the choice of a meaningful gift for the beloved man suits thoroughly. Such a ring is bought without the participation of her beloved, as it is planned to make her a pleasant surprise.

To make it perfect, when buying jewelry you need to consider a few nuances:

• the choice of a stone (it is desirable to choose a noble crystal);
• beauty of design (the product should look luxurious);
• the shape of the jewelry (round and thin, which later will be well combined with the wedding ring);

• purchase in a proven jewelry store (with certificates and guarantees);
• the absence of visible defects and flaws (the decoration must be performed flawlessly, without chipping, scratching);
