    Origins and traditions of the engagement ring

    In France and around the world, the engagement ring has a symbolic and special history: it tells the story of your life. The attachment to this ring, which symbolizes a promise of marriage, has its roots in a tradition that goes back through history. Since ancient times, this ring was the sign of the dowry that was paid, a symbolism that quickly evolved before becoming today's romantic symbol of the devotion of both partners. Before marriage, a man often offers a solitaire to his future wife, a sign of a promise of marriage. In France, this tradition is still relevant although it has evolved: previously, the engagement ring was reserved for nobles and people of the upper class. However, at that time, it was common for the man to wear a ring, while nowadays, more than 90% of men tend to offer this ring to their future wife and finally wear only the wedding band on the wedding day. With this romantic custom, women generally keep their engagement ring for life to which they add their wedding band on the wedding day. Indeed, this unique ring is generally worn on the same finger as the wedding ring (the left ring finger) because it is on this finger that a vein directly joins the heart. The circular shape of the ring is not insignificant: it represents eternal, infinite and faithful love. In the center is generally set a quality diamond, of the weight and number of carats of your choice. Because love is priceless, solitaires, wedding rings, rings, Maison Lorenz Bäumer invites you to consult its collection of engagement rings.

    How to choose your engagement ring?

    A true declaration of love, the engagement ring deserves to be chosen with care. We should not forget that it will be unique and that the lucky one will wear it for the rest of her life. There are even beliefs that give this jewel the power to directly connect the left ring finger to the heart, like a vein. Given this symbolic mesh embroidered around the women's engagement ring, the search for increasingly noble and precious materials has become a perpetual challenge for jewelers. Several criteria must be taken into account before setting your sights on an engagement ring model: which stone suits you or reflects your temperament, which material matches your taste as well as your skin tone and finally which shape pleases you and highlights your personality and style? For example, the diamond engagement ring is the most popular because the diamond is a symbol of eternity. But you can also choose from other precious stones for your engagement ring: ruby, sapphire or emerald.

    How to clean and shine your engagement ring

    Caring for your engagement ring allows it to retain its shine despite the ravages of time. Remember to regularly polish your gold jewelry with a chamois leather. If you have chosen a white gold set, it is possible that it may yellow slightly over time, as the alloy is composed of 75% yellow gold at the base. In this case, it may be necessary to apply a thin layer of Rhodium to preserve its beautiful gray color and make it stainless. If necessary, do not hesitate to visit your jeweler to maintain and polish your ring. If it is a yellow gold diamond engagement ring, you can soak it in slightly warm soapy water for a few minutes and then rub gently with a small soft brush, before wiping it with a cloth. Soap can be replaced with a little baking soda. Please note that this advice does not apply to white or rose gold and is not recommended for other precious stones, which you can simply clean with a microfiber cloth soaked in water and a little rubbing alcohol. The brush and baking soda could scratch them.

    HOW TO WEAR YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING?

    The most classic and traditional way to wear an engagement ring is on the ring finger of the left hand. The choice of the ring finger stems from an Egyptian myth that indicates that there is only one vein that can directly connect to the heart, this one would be located on the ring finger. However, depending on the country and its customs or even your personal preferences considering aesthetics, other options are possible. In most countries, the engagement ring and wedding band are worn on the left ring finger, but in some countries like Germany, the ring finger of the right hand is strictly reserved for the wedding band.
