Every couple takes time to choose their perfect engagement ring and there’s some importance attached to it.
The Egyptians and Romans
The tradition started with the Egyptians but it became popular with Romans, who believed that there is a vein on the left finger that is connected to the heart. These Romans started the practice of wearing the ring on that finger. The ring on the finger with ‘vena amoris’ or vein of love became a symbol of love between a married couples. While the tradition of wearing the ring on the left finger is still there, in some countries it is also worn on the right one.
The symbol of the circle
The ring in the shape of a circle has some meanings of its own. A circle has no beginning or end and this symbolizes the love between the couple. The circle stands for the unending love that has no end. It also symbolizes the connection between the two people.
Customization
The current age is all about customization and the rings are no exception. Traditionally, diamonds shine on the fingers of the beloved one. However, now couples choose to deviate from this tradition for sake of personalization making the rings talk about their love better than the traditional ones. The use of different birthstones, along with diamond, as well as designs and engraved words on the rings is becoming more popular. Whatever customization is made, an engagement ring bought from a reputed seller like Diamond Exchange stands as a symbol of the love that brings two people to live life together.
