All You Need To Know About Engagement Rings, Anniversary Rings And Wedding Bands

By: Vanscoy Diamonds

What's with all the rings, right? The number of rings, the right style, what makes them apart - this confuses a lot of people. All in all, it all starts with the engagement ring.

Engagement Rings

A man gives an engagement ring to the woman he wishes to marry. This works as a promise - it is the marriage proposal ring. So get ready to kneel down on a knee and ask her hand in marriage. Stuff of dreams. If you give someone an engagement ring, you're almost definitely going to marry them. (In certain cases, a man can give her woman an engagement ring after getting married. This usually depends on financial circumstances).

For engagement rings, the tradition is to go for gold or platinum and a large center diamond. A diamond signifies an eternal bond, as does gold or platinum.

A woman wears an engagement ring on the third finger (fourth digit) of her left hand. This finger is usually called the ring finger and is the one next to the pinky (smallest) finger.

Wedding Bands

Weddings bands are what a man and woman exchange during the wedding ceremony. However, it is only customary for the man to give a wedding band to the woman. The wedding band signifies an official commitment to a life partner.

Traditionally just a simple gold ring, it is now common to go for diamond studded bands. A wedding band cannot, however, have a center diamond. Instead small decorative diamonds are studded across the band.

The bride wears a wedding band on the same finger as the engagement ring, but the wedding band goes first. A new trend that we completely recommend is "stacking". As the name suggests, you wear two wedding bands instead of one, with the engagement ring sandwiched between.

 

Anniversary Rings

During the course of marriage, the husband and wife reach many milestones. There are special moments to celebrate and remember. Anniversary rings are given as gifts for special anniversaries.

Anniversary rings usually have three stones set in them. The three stones represent the past, present and future of the marriage. Bands with more than three stones are also pretty popular.

The anniversary band is usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand stacked over the other two rings. The correct order to wear all rings on the same finger is this: the wedding band goes first, then the engagement ring and the anniversary band goes last. But you can wear it according to your preference. If you want, you can also try to wear it on the ring finger of your right hand. You can wear it on any finger and order that suits you.
