Engagement
Rings
In Western tradition, an engagement ring is a ring worn by a woman on her left-hand
ring finger indicating her engagement to be married. In other countries, such as
Poland, it is customary for the ring to be worn on the right hand. By modern convention,
the ring is usually presented as a betrothal gift by a man to his prospective bride while, or
directly after, she accepts his marriage proposal. It represents a formal agreement to
future marriage.
Similar traditions purportedly date to classical times, dating back
from an early usage reportedly referring to the fourth finger of the left hand as containing the
vena amoris or "vein of love".
Even for men, engagement rings are becoming more common. In the United States & Canada today, it is becoming more common, but still quite rare, that
a woman will also buy an engagement or promise ring for her partner at the time of
the engagement.
