What are the most important rules?


An engagement ring can never be without gems. Since Mary of Burgundy received a diamond engagement ring from Archduke Maximilian of Austria in 1477, the engagement rules have specified that diamonds are an integral part of the proposal. De Beers, the world's largest diamond company, added another rule in the last century, suggesting that her engagement ring must cost two months' salary. Needless to say, you don't have to follow these so-called engagement ring rules. Although some men find them useful guidelines.


“A true friend is like a diamond: precious, valuable and rare.”

In the past, a single diamond ring was the most popular engagement ring. Then the princess cut style. Single diamond rings are still the most popular, but their dominance is declining. Nowadays, more and more men choose other diamond shaped rings in terms of engagement rings. They may give each other a unique original ring, or they may know that each other likes rings of different styles.



In the past, the traditional practice was that the man asked the woman's father for permission before proposing. This tradition seems to be declining. However, it is wise to discuss the engagement with the couple's parents. They know your daughter well and will give you some interesting insights.


Another rule is that the engagement ring must be purchased by the man. But today, we also see a new trend. Now many couples simply buy engagement rings together. So, who would kneel on one knee?




What engagement ring rules apply to a second proposal?


In fact, the engagement ring rules applicable to the first proposal also apply to the second proposal. You don't have to belittle or exaggerate your proposal (and ring), because this is your second time. Each relationship is unique and therefore worth a suitable proposal. The advantage is that you may be familiar with the situation. You probably have a better idea of the ring's budget, or know more about how many carats of diamonds you want.

With this knowledge, you can even design her engagement ring yourself. If you still have some trivial questions, you can turn to the professional knowledge of the jeweler when buying the engagement ring for the second time.




What is the impact of your beliefs?


When the Western world talks about engagement rings, many people may naturally think of Christian weddings. But there are countless other religions and beliefs in reality. Here are some of their rules.

Islamism
In Islam, wearing an engagement ring is prohibited. Nevertheless, some key points are worth mentioning. Engagement rings with superstitious or Christian meanings are prohibited. Islam does not allow the use of symbols of other religions.
If a man then gives his partner a ring to celebrate her promise, the ring may not be an engagement ring. On the contrary, it is his expression of love.



“In Islam, wearing an engagement ring is prohibited.”

But what does this ban mean for a multicultural society with different faiths in marriage? According to the Koran, Islamic women are not allowed to marry Christian men. But the opposite is true. So it's better to take half of the church or mosque? Choose a bracelet or another piece of jewelry to replace the engagement ring.



Judaism
According to the strict rules of Judaism, engagement rings are not allowed. Jewish engagement traditionally involves several gifts. Men and women give each other gifts. Jewelry is certainly the best gift to celebrate an engagement. But not a ring. Any form of ring is the epitome of marriage. Once a wedding is held, a Jewish man can give his partner an "engagement ring".

Buddhism and Hinduism
Eastern Buddhism and Hinduism do not recognize Western engagement ring customs and rules. Although this depends on the degree of tradition of the people involved. Under the influence of the West, a Buddhist can certainly buy an engagement ring for his partner. In Hinduism, toe rings are more common, although wearing them on the ring finger is always possible.
