[B949]Build Your Engagement Rings
by Roy Dietelzieg, Roy

Matrimony is that one sacrament in the Catholic religion practice that is most special to people, particularly to lovers who aim to formalize commitments to grow old with each other. The intimate bond between lovers and would-be-couples start in the courtship stage. It is in this stage that foundation for the potential relationship is set and paved.

That is why it is assumed that before the couple enters the engagement period, they are prepared to enter a serious commitment. Engagement stage is regarded by some people as the most sensitive phase of a romantic relationship.

Why? It is because during engagement, characters and personalities are further uncovered. Each of the couple is being set, mentally, emotionally, financially and spiritually to the forthcoming union called marriage.

That is why people want that stage to be particularly special and symbolic. What a way to make the engagement stage more symbolic than to make use of the engagement rings.

Engagement rings were traditionally regarded as an early union of pledges and commitments prior to marriage. In some culture, engagement rings are as important as the relationship itself, because the rings are the symbols and embodiment of the romantic commitment.

Thus, engaged couples are reminded to always wear the engagement rings to serve as reminder to themselves that they are already 'taken' and to serve as herald to people that the couple is already bound for a deeper form of relationship.

Engagement rings have always been treated as important personal belongings of the couple as they are bound to wear it to symbolize their undying love for each other.

It is in this regard that demand for engagement rings is always on the rise. Almost in all countries, couples invest in buying engagement rings. Scrupulous businesses are thus underpinning that fact. Opportunities arise for them and so they craft really beautiful and durable engagement rings.

The catch is, most engagement rings in the market are sold expensively. Crafters assume that engaged couples are not yet budget conscious and are still madly in love to ignore rings' tag prices. Well, they are wrong. Couples are now increasingly paying attention to the tag prices above all before finally deciding to purchase engagement rings.

Some, however, are still misled to the thinking that engagement rings should be costly because the tag price and value signify the intensity of the love between the couple. Thus, women, who are more particular and keen on vanity, are almost always aiming to get high-priced engagement rings so they could flaunt something to friends and families.

Couples rarely realize that engagement rings can be inexpensive. Nowadays, there are numerous shops that sell inexpensive but classy engagement rings. These rings are very functional, symbolic but not pricey. They can more symbolize the undying and durable love.


No other jewellery item says ?love? more powerfully than a diamond engagement ring. Rare, precious, and indestructible, these qualities earned the diamond its status as a symbol of enduring love, romance, and commitment. It was said that Cupid's arrows were tipped with diamonds.

The Greeks believed that the fire in a diamond reflected the constant flame of love. The Romans suggested that diamonds were tears of the gods. For the Indians, they were good luck charms warding off illness, thieves, and forces of evil. To others, they were stones that would heal and bestow knowledge - talismans of power and purity.

Once reserved for royalty or the very rich, diamond rings are now an accessible luxury. Happy, pretty and loved are how diamond engagement rings make any women feel. And diamond engagement rings are proudly worn as potent symbols of commitment, devotion, celebration, wealth, and love. Nothing beats the look of a diamond engagement ring on your hand.

It is vitally important when choosing an engagement ring that it reflects the wearer's taste, personality and also meets any practical requirements. Think about the wear and tear the ring will have and chose accordingly.

So, what are today's styles for engagement rings? Truth is, sometimes women want to sport a brilliant, beautiful diamond engagement ring on their hand that doesn't look like a wedding band, or anniversary ring. Sometimes, women want to wear this ring on their right hand - or even the middle finger of their left to avoid tan lines or to perform some professional duties. These demands are what inspire jewellers to create so many unique engagement ring designs.

The only hard and fast design rule is that there are no hard and fast rules! Engagement rings come in all shapes, sizes and styles. There is plenty of opportunity to have a ring that is as unique as you are.

Some of the latest design trends for engagement rings are bold, yet feminine - many with an art deco influence. Hallmarks of the hottest engagement ring looks include:

? Geometric, art deco shapes such as diamond circles or squares;

? Wide "band" style engagement rings that are chunky, yet feminine;

? Asymmetrical designs that feature an unusually cut diamond, such as princess cut;

? Coloured diamonds (fancy yellow, cognac, or chocolate brown)

? Mixing round brilliant diamonds with fancy shapes;

? The use of open-air space within the ring design (showing diamonds against skin) to give a substantial ring a light, airy, modern look.

Diamond engagement rings are a great choice as they are timeless and compliment any outfit or other jewellery. Remember that an engagement ring will be a ring you'll wear for a lifetime so it is worth choosing carefully. Make sure you try on all the styles that appeal to you so that you make an informed choice. Also you'll need to think about how it will sit with your wedding ring and most likely an eternity ring down the line.
