Engagement Ring Purpose

 

One’s diamond engagement ring is an expression of personal style. What’s our engagement ring type? It can be modern, classic, or vintage. It can be a simple classic solitaire or an elaborate three-stone setting with side diamonds. It can be platinum, rose, white or yellow gold. Whatever type of engagement rings in Seattle we are looking for, you’ll find what you need at Gordon James Fine Diamonds.

Traditional engagement rings typically have one dominant stone, which either stands alone or is surrounded by additional smaller gemstonesin Seattle. An engagement ring is usually given as part of the proposal, or if not, at an early point in the engagement.

By contrast, a wedding ring is traditionally a plain metal band or a diamond-encrusted eternity band that you receive when exchanging vows during the wedding ceremony. Typically, there’s also a fairly significant price difference between engagement rings and wedding rings; even if the wedding band has inlaid diamonds or other gemstones, their total carat weight is generally less than that of the engagement ring.

Traditionally, we wear our engagement ring and wedding ring together on our left hand’s fourth finger. As far as how to stack them, tradition holds that we will wear the wedding band inside the engagement ring to be closer to our heart.

That being said, some brides opt to wear their engagement ring on one hand and their wedding band on the other, especially if they are very diverse rings that can’t be easily stacked.
