Special engagement rings with diamond
Diamond ring in gold & white gold
An engagement ring is the most important piece of jewelry in the world. The gift of a very special engagement ring has a very long tradition dating back to ancient times. Back then, it was a sign that the bride had received the dowry, but the engagement ring developed into the unique romantic symbol we know today.
The engagement ring not only stands for the promise of marriage, it also symbolizes devotion and commitment to your partner. A gold engagement ring symbolizes closeness and trust between two lovers.
Even the shape of the engagement ring indicates the meaning: it is circular - without beginning or end - and thus became the universal symbol of eternal love and fidelity, perfection and infinity.
Historical significance of the engagement ring from antiquity to the present day
The engagement ring meaning has changed and been redefined again and again throughout its history, from antiquity to the present day.
In ancient times, it was believed that the ring finger had a direct connection to the heart and so the ring was placed on the left hand of the loved one, the heart side - as a sign of eternal love and and intimate connection.
As early as the Middle Ages, women received a ring from their beloved as a promise of marriage - this was taken so seriously that women were forbidden to put on a ring just for fun.
Engagement ring for the man
Later, the so-called twin rings appeared. A pair of rings that could be worn together. The man wore his ring until the wedding, then it was given to the woman, who has worn it as a wedding ring ever since.
Today, an engagement ring is an integral part of the official announcement of a wedding and marriage. In Germany, traditionally only the woman wears an engagement ring. The man is usually the one who chooses and buys the ring. Therefore, the engagement ring should be a truly unique piece of jewelry for life.
ENGAGEMENT RING: WHICH HAND IS THE RIGHT ONE?
In Germany, the bride-to-be wears her engagement ring from the engagement to the wedding on the ring finger of the left hand. This rule has its origins in ancient tradition, in which the vein of love is said to lead from the left hand directly to the heart.
After the wedding, the engagement ring loses its purpose as a promise of lovebut can of course still be worn.
BUT ON WHICH HAND TO WEAR THE ENGAGEMENT RING AFTER THE WEDDING
The newlywed has a choice here. The engagement ring can either continue to be worn on the left ring finger or it can be placed on the right hand before the wedding ring.
The tradition of the engagement ring
Individuality. Meaning. Value
While in other countries the value of the engagement ring depends on the man's income, for example, in Germany it is more important that the woman likes the ring.
Cost of an engagement ring
In Germany, the general rule is that the engagement ring should cost about three months' salary for the man. We don't think much of it. At the CAPULET jewelry workshop in Munich, we specialize in engagement rings and wedding rings and it is more important to us that the the quality of the engagement ring in gold and that the wedding rings also give pleasure for a lifetime.
Of course, the choice of material and the size of the diamonds also play an important role in Germany, but for most women, individuality and the style of the engagement ring are the most important factors.
The traditional meaning of the ring is particularly important to most wearers - she wears it as a a symbol of everlasting love and fidelity to her partner. But of course, the engagement ring should also be a visual highlight.
Engagement rings - what's trendy?
In general, a special engagement ring is still very much in vogue. In most social classes, this tradition is still quite young. In the past, the custom of presenting engagement rings was reserved for aristocrats and wealthy citizens from the upper social classes. For ordinary people, a precious metal and diamond engagement ring was simply too expensive.
With the economic upturn of the 1950s, salaries rose and more and more men were able to give their beloved a precious engagement ring. The ritual of the upper classes became an engagement ring tradition for everyone. Since the 1970s, the number of couples in which at least one of the two partners wears an engagement ring has risen continuously.
Unbroken to this day is the engagement ring trend in which the man surprises his partner when he proposes. In the past, it was quite common for the man to also wear an engagement ring. Today, over 90% give their loved one a ring as an engagement present, but only receive a ring for the wedding itself, usually made of gold.
