Additional information
Engagement ring – In the West, in particular, an engagement ring indicates that the person wearing it is engaged. In the United Kingdom and North America, engagement rings are traditionally reserved for women and may be adorned with precious stones. In other cultures, men and women generally wear matching, sometimes simple, rings. In some cultures, engagement rings are also used as Wedding bands.
Traditionally, the engagement ring is given by a man to his future wife when proposing or immediately after she accepts. It constitutes a formal agreement to marry. Rings may be purchased by the man, by the couple together, or by each partner for the other.
In North America and the United Kingdom, it is worn on the left ring finger, while in Poland and Ukraine, it is customary to wear it on the right hand. In Germany, it is worn on the left hand during the engagement, but on the right hand during the wedding. Similar traditions are said to date back to antiquity, stemming from an ancient custom that identified the left hand ring finger as containing the vena amoris, or "vein of love."
Engagement rings were used in Roman times, but their return to the West did not occur until the 13th century. The first documented use of a diamond ring to symbolize an engagement was that of Archduke Maximilian of Austria at the imperial court of Vienna in 1477, upon his engagement to Mary of Burgundy.
In the 20th century, if he could afford it, the Western groom would privately choose and purchase an engagement ring, which he would then offer to his future wife when proposing. More recently, couples frequently choose their engagement ring together. (according to Wikipedia)
