SYMBOL OF THE ENGAGEMENT - THE RING
The tradition of the ring also originated in Judaism, according to which a golden nose ring was originally given to the bride as an equivalent in money. In the Roman era, rings became established as a romantic symbol of love and devotion between two people. Since the Romans assumed that the circle represented an eternal bond between the two people, they wore it on the fourth finger, because a vein leads from the ring finger to the heart. Both the Romans and the Egyptians already knew this tradition in antiquity. It was only worn by women. With it, men could tell if the lady was already taken. The ring was also the receipt of the dowry that the bride had to bring into the marriage.
Today, the engagement ring is a symbol of love, devotion and commitment to one's partner. In the southern countries of Europe, the engagement ring with a light-coloured gemstone is traditional. Traditionally worn on the right hand, the ring switched from the right to the left hand at the wedding ceremony.
In the USA, it is traditional for the engagement ring to be worth about 3 months' salary. This means that the ring is usually set with an appropriately valuable stone, such as a one-carat diamond and a ring band made of platinum. The ring has the shape of a circle and thus the shape of the full moon and the sun. It is therefore not surprising that ancient cultures saw it as a symbol of perfection, unity and infinity.
