Promise Rings For Couples- A Little Dictionary of Rings Part 1.
Today we'll be talking about love rings. What types of love rings are there? There are many, and based on their type and the place they're worn, they may have different meanings.
Even the finger they are placed on could have an important meaning. In today's post, as well as the next ones, I'll try to give an easy and comprehensive overview of all the types of rings, their significance, where they come from and how they are generally employed.
Let's start with rings that are dedicated to love.
Couple Jewelry Sets Keep one thing in mind: engagement in Italy is a commitment however, it doesn't mean you are sure that you'll be married. Let's assume that you are in a relationship that is ongoing. In America the engagement ring indicates that there is an intention to get married. That said, people who have been in a relationship for a while may decide to wear a promise of the connection that they feel and are not necessarily thinking of something more permanent. In this scenario you can pick an engagement ring that is pre-engaged (or a promise ring but we'll talk about the latter in a moment). This type of ring that is typically simple and has little significance, is worn on the left ring in order to signal that you're engaged, even though it's not yet. Sometimes, it is possible to choose the middle finger of your left hand to avoid to confuse it with an engagement ring.
You can inscribe your date, or the initials or names of your two lovers.
Pre-engagement Ring is a promise ring. It is intended to signify a promise made by one person to another.
In reality promise rings can carry many different meanings

We are the best of friends
I will always be there for you.

I promise to abstain (from drinking, gambling or smoking).

A promise ring is similar to a pre-engagement band in that it does not have any distinguishing markings and may be of little value. If the promise isn't sentimental, it is best to wear it on your right hand. It is important to immediately clarify the meaning of the promise that you want to convey with the ring. Some suggest writing the promise on a piece paper to make sure. If the ring thickness is sufficient, you can have initials or a engraved design put on it.
Promise rings with low value is not a good idea to return it. However, the person who received it might want to keep it around in the event that a ring brings back bad memories.
The Solitaire Let us start by clarifying the fact that this solitaire, as we'll describe it, is distinctly American. In the past in Europe there were other customs related to engagement rings, linked to the place where the couple who were engaged came from. In American films, we witness the scene where the groom kneels down and asks you to marry him. Then, he opens an open box that contains diamonds of various sizes. Here it is usually an SOLITAIRE. This is because the diamond is usually brilliant cut. round) placed in the middle of a ring that is quite simple is the symbol of the one and only true love. Then if you want to know how many different ways this simple model can be interpreted go here.
I am naive to believe that, due to the high cost of diamonds, poor fiances don't have a lot of choice (if they are wealthy you can move on to the next rings) rather than focusing on a single diamond, then obviously the size in this case is crucial, at the very least for the wallet.
It is a very well-known and iconic design. It is common, but not always it doesn't have stones mounted on the sides or around the stem can be made of white or gold, or platinum.
For those who are more romantic, when he gives you the solitaire, he's actually expressing his love and loyalty to you and only you in exchange for your commitment to marry him.
Like all engagement rings the solitaire is worn on the left hand of your finger. Why? It was thought that this finger had an unconnected vein to the heart, the vena amoris.
The most well-known solitaire ring is the Tiffany setting that has a six-prong setting. It was invented by Charles Tiffany (father to L.C. Tiffany) in 1886. The solitaire band that fits every fashion, every age, and women who appreciate style and precious stones.
