Engagement Ring
Engagement ring is a ring that a woman wears on her left hand.
It indicates that she has intentions to marry a man who
presented her with this ring. Engagement rings are traditional
for the United States and for Europe. The tradition originates
back to the ancient Greeks, Romans and even Egyptians. Nowadays
many couples do not follow this tradition, but it is a good idea
to regard it from romantic point of view: engagement ring adds
some specific flavor to the relations, I would say some intimacy.
When a man gives his beloved lady an engagement ring she can
refuse it - it means she does not want to marry him (at least at
this point in time). If she accepts the ring it signifies she is
ready to marry him and a kind of a relationship evaluation
period starts. It may result in a wedding or in an engagement
break. If the engagement does not lead to the wedding the woman
is entitled to keep the engagement ring (but most men regard
this action dishonest) or she can return it.
The price of an engagement ring is, as a rule, expensive: the
man wants to impress his woman and prove the seriousness of his
intentions. Surely, there are no any set standards about the
price of the engagement ring. It can cost two-three month salary
of the man or can be much cheaper.
The price of the engagement ring depends on the material and
design. The most popular engagement rings include a diamond or
at least a less expensive gem (sapphire, emeralds and rubies;
pearls and opals are rarely used - they are so called soft
stones) combined with gold or some other precious metal:
platinum, silver, titanium. It is a matter of taste, but most
women prefer diamond rings.
