Engagement is an incredibly sensitive event, an exciting moment that every girl ready to start a family is waiting for. A traditional engagement is considered to be a ritual when a man organizes a romantic atmosphere and publicly proposes to his beloved in the presence of family and friends.

And while some prefer to pay tribute to tradition, others look for original and sometimes even extreme ways to give a ring. But no matter how the ring ends up on the ring finger, it always serves as an indicator that the girl intends to tie her fate with a certain person. For both women and men, engagement is that turning point when the relationship moves to a new, more serious stage.

The historical significance of engagement rings

The tradition of giving a girl an engagement ring dates back to ancient times. According to one theory, the ring was considered an attribute of a man's ability to provide his chosen one with everything necessary for a comfortable life. So the ancient Greeks tried to present two rings - a gold one for "going out" and a ring made of simple metal for wearing in everyday life. In addition, the engagement ring had a sign of ownership and was regarded as confirmation of the woman's "belonging" to the man. Over time, the tradition of engagement has certainly changed and at present, the engagement ring is perceived as a romantic symbol of eternal love.

The ideal engagement ring

The approach to choosing an engagement ring, like nothing else, demonstrates the degree of seriousness and responsibility of a man. When choosing an engagement ring, it is worth paying attention not only to current fashion trends, but also to a number of other points:

• the character and personal style of the girl;
• personal preferences in choosing jewelry;
• the presence of allergic reactions to a certain type of metal;
• national and religious traditions;
• whether the girl perceives jewelry as a way of self-expression or prefers more classic, restrained designs;
• the girl's desire to participate in choosing an engagement ring.

If it is not easy to please a girl and choosing the "perfect" engagement ring seems like an impossible task, it is time to turn to her close friend. At first glance, this may seem awkward, but in some cases it will really help to ease the task of choosing a ring and make the future bride as happy as possible. This is how women are made - girls prefer to discuss sensitive moments, romantic expectations and desires with each other.

Another great idea is to make an engagement ring according to an individual sketch. The master will be able to embody all the preferences, wishes and significant nuances in the product, and a unique piece of jewelry will be born, created especially for her. Your beloved will appreciate such an act, and the ring will certainly emphasize her uniqueness.

It is important to remember about women's individuality and not to perceive the well-known phrase "diamonds are a girl's best friend" as a universal key to a woman's heart.
