Engagement rings are traditionally worn on the left hand, on the 4th finger, the on the finger, next to the pinkie finger.
It was the ancient Romans who began placing the engagement ring on the left ring finger. They believed the left ring finger contained the vein of love which connects directly to the heart.
The tradition of presenting a diamond engagement ring is believed to have been started in 1477 when Archduke Maximillian gave one to Mary of Burgandy.
Before that, engagement rings were plain metal bands. Gold and silver where used among the wealthy and iron among the commoners.

Peridot earrings, ring and pendant
Certain gemstones are linked to astrology and different months of the year.
Peridot is the official gemstone for August. The alternative gemstones are Aventurine, Sardonyx, or Sapphire. Peridot is a gemstone used since ancient times, and it’s been found in some ancient Egyptian jewelry.
Peridot is rich and green in color and has a slight hint of gold. The tinge of gold is created by tiny deposits of iron. The richness of the color depends on how much iron is present in the stone.
The word Peridot is thought to come from an Arabic word faridat meaning ‘gem’. Another belief is that it’s from the French word peritot meaning ‘unclear’.

Wide diamond engagement ring
The Tiffany style isn’t for every bride-to-be.
And that’s hardly surprising is it.
After all, if we all had the same taste in design, we’d all be driving the same model of car and wearing the same shoe design.
Although the traditional diamond solitaire engagement ring is still popular, the classic design doesn’t suit the desires of every lady.
The solitaire isn’t always practical for all lifestyles either.
When looking for alternatives, it’s not always an easy process to find different designs.
