Why are engagement rings so important?

The tradition of proposing marriage with an engagement ring dates back to ancient Egyptian. Back in the olden days, the ring not only symbolized a partner’s commitment to the eternity of the relationship, it also served as a statement to charming bachelors looking to whisk soon-to-be-wives away for a frolic in the hay: any woman with a ring on the ring-finger of her left hand is no longer available to be courted.

Nowadays wedding ring is the biggest symbol of love and commitment. You love the person, and you express it by placing an engagement ring on her finger.

You can think of an engagement ring as something as powerful as your Relationship Status.

It’s incredible how one, tiny, circular object can speak a thousand words but that’s exactly what the engagement ring does. Every time you look down on it you will be reminded of all the reasons you fell in love with your significant other, why you have committed to spending the rest of your lives together, and all the things you have to look forward to in the future. It’s a silent but eternal proposal resting on your finger, your vows to one another solidified and always present as a reminder when times are tough.

The tradition of proposal with an engagement ring has been and will always be the happiest and the most emotional moment of our lives.  For every person, it might hold a different emotion, but the universal truth remains that it is the sweetest gesture of love.
