Why People Wear Engagement Ring & What Are the Best Rings to Buy

Each finger in humans represents one of the five elements your body is composed of. Thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and small finger represent fire, air, ether, earth, and water.

Ring traditions

The ring worn on a finger does not just look beautiful but an icon of some important event in your life. Wearing one or more rings on fingers is a usual tradition. In some old universities in the United States, a culture of awarding "class ring" and wearing this ring by the graduating students is considered a matter of pride. 

A wedding ring is the most common tradition in much of North and South America and some other countries. A ring on the fourth finger symbolizes the wedding. A band on the right fourth finger indicates engagement, and on the left fourth finger means marriage. Wearing a ring on the middle finger (instead of the fourth finger) is a sure way to signify that a woman is not engaged or married, but it is not symbolic; wear a statement ring is a choice.

Engagement ring

An engagement ring is an indication that a person wearing it is either married or going to marry soon. A person presents it to his or her prospective spouse as a token of acceptance of the marriage proposal. Engagement may be cheap or expensive for its monetary value, but priceless for its wearer. Readymade engagement rings are not standard because a person may have a specific choice to present this ring to his or her extraordinary would-be spouse. A ring is thus made on a particular order, sometimes with the first letter of its presenter's name. You can get many designs and styles of custom engagement rings, as you can mark your preference for the materials to be used in its making.

Precious engagement rings

Engagement rings in diamonds are quite popular despite being expensive. The cost depends on the 'carat' weight of diamonds. Emerald cut moissanite ring is one of the best engagement rings. Moissanite is a diamond simulant made of silicon carbide, a type of stone with a similar appearance as a diamond.
