When a man wants to marry a woman, he shows his commitment to her by offering an engagement ring to her. It is widely known that June is the most common wedding month. People also know that Christmas time and Valentines Day are holidays favored by suitors for giving engagement rings, but do you have any idea of how or when the tradition behind engagement rings started? Taking a look through history, rings for the purpose of engagement have been seen way back into the days of the Roman empire. Back then, though, they were termed betrothal rings. To serve as an announcement of the upcoming nuptials, these rings were given to women just before marriage. Iron was the metal of choice during this time period and no stones adorned the ring- they were simple, non-decorative circles. In the early seventeenth century, it was commonplace for engravings to be made on the inside of the rings. These markings could be the date of marriage, initials of the people getting married or anything else the groom wanted to capture inside the band.cubic zirconia engagement ring]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Save-Money-And-Buy-A-Cubic-Zirconia-Engagement-Ring/888721 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:10:02 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Save-Money-And-Buy-A-Cubic-Zirconia-Engagement-Ring/888721 You have heard that traditionally a man spends two months salary on an engagement ring and band for his fiancee.

In this case, buying a cubic zirconia engagement ring is the way to go. Whether because of economic conditions or because they are just starting out on their own, many couples have a lot of every day expenses to consider on top of worrying about the costs associated with getting married. The rings, the dress, the church, the reception hall, the honeymoon... all of these cost money. It's hard to skimp on the cost of the dress and still get the breathtaking one the woman wants.Cubic Zirconia Wedding Rings]]> Cubic Zirconia Engagement Ring]]> Cubic Zirconia Engagement Rings]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Wise-Newlyweds-Opt-For-Cubic-Zirconia-Wedding-Rings/888709 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 18:55:13 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Wise-Newlyweds-Opt-For-Cubic-Zirconia-Wedding-Rings/888709 Regardless of what piece of jewelry it is that you have your eye on, there are options to purchase the designs you like at a price you like even more. Today's market offers infinite varieties in styles, colors, metals and sizes of jewelry. Even in days past, few people could afford the finest diamonds and metals. With our recent economic downturn, even fewer people can buy top quality jewelry from designer collections and posh stores. Want to still look swanky on a tight budget? You can do it with a small amount of money without settling for inferior style. We all know that sterling silver is an option over white gold that costs a significant amount more. Sterling silver cubic zirconia rings have replaced diamond rings fashioned in white gold , platinum, palladium and other high priced metals.

You really like your engagement ring, but you hate the wedding band that would go with it. You want to take the diamond he gave you out of the setting and place it into a solitaire setting, keeping the diamond he gave you because you love it. Part of you feels terrible for thinking about changing it, and the other part doesn't. When he got his ring, you picked out the one he described he wanted and when you went there to buy it, he picked something completely different. So he got to choose but if you say you want to choose it makes you shallow? What do you think? Deciding to change the setting of the engagement ring that your loved one has given you is a very tough decision!!! There's nothing that says you have to get the matching wedding band, you could keep the engagement ring that you have since you really like it and you could chose another wedding band to go with it.engagement rings settings]]> engagement ring setting]]> engageme]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Would-You-Change-The-Setting-Of-Your-Engagement-Ring-/885125 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:45:51 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Would-You-Change-The-Setting-Of-Your-Engagement-Ring-/885125 Diamonds]]> Diamond Engagement Rings]]> Diamond Rings]]> Wedding Rings]]> Engagement Rings]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Search-For-The-Perfect-Engagement-Ring/883781 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 03:26:07 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Search-For-The-Perfect-Engagement-Ring/883781 Diamond jewelry]]> buy diamond]]> choose diamond]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Tips-On-Buying-Diamond-Jewelry/883720 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 02:56:27 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Tips-On-Buying-Diamond-Jewelry/883720 Diamonds]]> Diamond Engagement Rings]]> Diamond Rings]]> Wedding R]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What-Kind-Of-Engagement-Ring-Should-You-Choose-/883678 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 02:40:17 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What-Kind-Of-Engagement-Ring-Should-You-Choose-/883678 Diamonds]]> Diamond Engagement Rings]]> Diamond Rings]]> Wedding R]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Perfect-Match/883654 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 02:29:03 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Perfect-Match/883654 Diamonds]]> Diamond Engagement Rings]]> Diamond Rings]]> Wedding R]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What-Do-Eternity-Rings-Signify-/883567 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:43:11 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What-Do-Eternity-Rings-Signify-/883567 Congratulations! You have decided to pop the question to your sweetheart. Your special someone is a unique woman who does not follow the crowd. She is a trendsetter and loves to be unique. So why should you purchase her a traditional engagement ring? Instead, here are some unique engagement ring design ideas to think about before purchasing an engagement ring for your unique and special girlfriend. Go Antique One way that women are unique today is by shopping vintage. Women love vintage stores. There are one of a kind pieces that no one else has. When she purchases a shirt at a vintage store, a woman can usually be assured that no one else is going to be wearing the same shirt. If your girlfriend loves vintage, try looking for an antique ring for her. This will make for a very unique engagement ring design. Engagement ring designs change drastically from one generation to the next, so if you can find something from several generations ago, it will be very unique for your girlfriend. Chances are, if she loves vintage and antique items, she will go wild over an antique or vintage engagement ring!accessories]]> engagement ring]]> Fashion]]> jewelry]]> ring]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Unique-Engagement-Ring-Design-Thoughts/883528 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:19:12 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Unique-Engagement-Ring-Design-Thoughts/883528 jewellery wholesale]]> fashion jewellery]]> silver jewellery]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Purchasing-Fashion-Silver-Jewellery-Online-For-Christmas/883444 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 00:37:57 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Purchasing-Fashion-Silver-Jewellery-Online-For-Christmas/883444 Diamonds]]> Diamond Engagement Rings]]> Diamond Rings]]> Wedding Rings]]> Engagement Rings]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What-Kind-Of-Engagement-Ring-Should-You-Choose-/883324 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:06:29 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What-Kind-Of-Engagement-Ring-Should-You-Choose-/883324 Diamonds]]> Diamond Engagement Rings]]> Diamond Rings]]> Wedding Rings]]> Engagement Rings]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What-Do-Eternity-Rings-Signify-/883271 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 22:24:28 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What-Do-Eternity-Rings-Signify-/883271 I am a jeweler by trade. First I'm going to echo the sentiments of some of the others... avoid the opals. They simply are not going to take the rigors of everyday wear and tear. Opals, while very beautiful and not terribly expensive, are also very fragile. They're prone to a thing called "crazing" which basically makes them look as if they have shattered. They also scratch easily and will become dull with daily wear on a ring. Without actually seeing the ring itself, it's very difficult to say whether or anything can reasonably be done to "customize" it that will be attractive and safe. Many times, a ring that has stones and etcetera added to them end up looking like a ring that has had something added to it rather than a nice finished piece of fine jewelry. Here's some ideas, that may or may not be possible. It's important that you check with and rely on the jeweler who will be doing the actual work for their expert advice. Often times, the head or crown holding the stone can be changed to something very striking. Many have unique designs and some even have small diamonds on them.customized engagement rings]]> engagement rings]]> engagement ri]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Customizing-Your-Engagement-Ring/883221 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 21:34:42 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Customizing-Your-Engagement-Ring/883221
