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

An engagement ring is called an engagement ring. The custom of giving engagement jewelry has an interesting story. Previously, the engagement was of a completely different nature: the parents of the bride and groom agreed on it, discussing the dowry and other issues relating to 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. To break the engagement was unacceptable, this implied a significant payment of compensation to the injured family and the return of money already invested in the wedding.

This custom is also 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 - Maria of Burgundy. Thus, he decided to prevent the rejection of the wedding. Since then, the custom has spread around the world, having a special meaning: they give a ring when they make an offer to their beloved. Accepting or not accepting the gift, the girl gives an answer to the marriage proposal.

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

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

Usually, a man approaches the choice of a significant gift for a loved one thoroughly. Such a ring is bought without the participation of a lover, as it is planned to make her a pleasant surprise.

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

• gift value (depending on the groom's abilities);
• the choice of metal (it is important to choose a jewelry, given the taste preferences of the bride);
• choice of stone (it is advisable to choose a noble crystal);
• the beauty of the design (the product should look luxurious);
• the shape of the decoration (round and thin, which subsequently will go well with the wedding ring);

• purchase in a trusted jewelry store (with certificates and guarantees);
• absence of visible defects and defects (decoration should be performed flawlessly, without chips, scratches);
• the size of the jewelry (you need to choose it according to the size of your finger: it’s easier to pick up a thin ring, the wide one should not fit tightly on the finger);
• age of the chosen one (massive rings with a large crystal are contraindicated for young natures, while thin rings with a small stone will be just right).

Different countries have their own ideas about the value of such a gift. In Europe, such jewelry is quite expensive: it can cost one or two monthly salaries of the groom. A lot depends on financial capabilities: if they allow, you can not only buy an expensive finished ring in a jewelry store, but also make it to order.
