Frequently asked questions

Do engagement rings have to be diamond?

While diamonds have long been the traditional choice for engagement rings, there is no hard and fast rule that they have to be made with diamonds. In fact, many couples are choosing alternative gemstones and materials for their engagement rings.

Some popular alternative gemstones for engagement rings include sapphires, emeralds and rubies. These gemstones can offer a unique and personal touch to an engagement ring and can be just as beautiful as a diamond.

Ultimately, the choice of what type of stone or material to use in an engagement ring is a personal one. While diamonds may be the traditional choice, there are many beautiful alternatives to consider that can make for a meaningful and special engagement ring.

Do Engagement rings have to be expensive?

No, engagement rings do not have to be expensive. While the idea of an expensive engagement ring has been popularized in media and society, the truth is that the cost of an engagement ring should be based on personal preference and budget.

There are many affordable options for engagement rings that can still be beautiful and meaningful. For example, choosing a smaller diamond or opting for a different gemstone can help lower the cost of an engagement ring. Additionally, choosing a simple band or setting can also help lower the overall cost.

It's important to remember that the cost of an engagement ring is not a measure of the love or commitment between two people. An engagement ring should be a symbol of love and the intention to build a life together, regardless of its cost.

Ultimately, the most important factor in choosing an engagement ring is that it reflects the couple's personal style and preferences, and fits within their budget. There are many options available at different price points, so it's possible to find a beautiful and meaningful engagement ring at a price that works.

How did engagement rings start?

Engagement rings have been exchanged for centuries, with the earliest recorded use dating back to ancient Egypt. Egyptians exchanged braided rings made from reeds as a symbol of their commitment. In ancient Rome, engagement rings were made of iron and were worn only by women as a sign of ownership.

The use of diamonds in engagement rings began in the late 15th century when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring to his betrothed, Mary of Burgundy. The idea of using diamonds in engagement rings gained popularity among the wealthy and elite. In the late 1800s, a massive diamond discovery in South Africa made diamonds more widely available, and the tradition of giving diamond engagement rings became more widespread.

Today, diamond engagement rings are still the most popular choice, but alternative gemstones and materials are also becoming more popular. Despite the changes in materials and styles over time, the tradition of giving engagement rings remains a symbol of love and commitment between two people.

What engagement ring should I get?

Choosing an engagement ring can feel like a daunting task, but it's ultimately a personal decision that should reflect the style and preferences of both partners. Here are some factors to consider when selecting an engagement ring:

  1. Budget: Determine how much you are willing to spend on the ring. Remember, the cost of the ring is not a measure of your love or commitment.
  2. Style: Consider your partner's style and preferences. Do they prefer a classic or modern style? Are they drawn to certain gemstones or metals?
  3. Size: The size of the ring should fit comfortably on your partner's finger. If you're unsure of the ring size, consider taking a ring they wear often to a jeweller for sizing.
  4. Quality: Ensure that the ring is made from quality materials and that the gemstones are authentic.
  5. Personalisation: Consider personalising the ring with an engraving or by incorporating a special stone or design that holds sentimental value.

Remember, the most important factor in selecting an engagement ring is that it reflects your partner's personal style and preferences, and represents your commitment to each other. Take your time, do your research, and trust your instincts to select the perfect engagement ring for your partner.

Which finger does an engagement ring go on?

Traditionally, an engagement ring is worn on the ring finger of the left hand. This tradition dates back to ancient Egypt, where it was believed that the fourth finger of the left hand contained a vein that led directly to the heart.

However, the practice of wearing an engagement ring on the left hand is not universal, and in some cultures, the engagement ring is worn on the right hand. For example, in some European countries, including Germany and Russia, engagement rings are typically worn on the right hand.

Ultimately, the finger on which an engagement ring is worn is a matter of personal preference and cultural tradition. Some people choose to wear their engagement ring on a different finger or even switch the hand on which they wear it.
