When it comes to making a statement about your relationship, rings are a great option. But which one should you pick for what occasion? Here are the four most common types of rings: engagement rings, promise rings, and matching rings for couples.

Promise rings:

Promise rings can be a good alternative for couples that aren't quite ready to make a commitment. A promise ring means: "We're not getting married right now, but we will in the near future."

They can be given to anyone at any time, as a sign of commitment. It's a beautiful gesture. There are no strict guidelines for a promise ring in terms of style. You can wear anything that you think is beautiful and represents your commitment and love. You can wear a promise ring on any finger, and you don't even have to be on your knees to give it to someone special. Don't spend as much on a promise ring as you would for a wedding or couples jewelry. Save that money for the big moment.

Engagement rings

These rings are given to ask for someone's marriage hand. This type of ring should be worn on the third left-hand finger, because it is believed that a vein runs from that finger directly to the heart. Unfortunately, the vein does not exist. However, the tradition continues to be very popular today.

Giving engagement rings is a tradition that dates back to the Egyptians. They chose the circular shape because it symbolized eternity. What should it look like and how much money should you spend on the ring?

The styles have evolved over the years, but today, an engagement band is usually a platinum or white gold band with a diamond. Diamond Rocks offers a bespoke design service, allowing you to create your perfect engagement ring. Click here to begin designing!

Some people give other gemstones like sapphires and rubies, but they are often viewed as quirky by traditionalists. However, gemstones are usually less expensive than diamonds and offer an excellent alternative for those who do not adhere to tradition.

Another option is to design something that suits your partner's character. Diamond Rocks can help you create something unique that your partner will love. Many people have different opinions on how much they spend on an engagement band. De Beers' marketing campaign is largely responsible for the 'traditional' idea that you should spend two months' wages on an engagement ring.

In recent years, engagement rings have become more affordable.
