Prior Commitment

from $10.00

Engagement rings have many symbolic meanings, including:

  • Commitment

    An engagement ring symbolizes a couple's commitment to each other and their promise to marry. 

  • Eternal love

    The ring's circular shape represents love that has no beginning or end. 

  • Gateway to commitment

    The opening in the ring can symbolize a gateway to the couple's eternal commitment. 

  • Closeness to the heart

    The tradition of wearing an engagement ring on the fourth finger of the left hand comes from the belief that a vein in this finger is directly connected to the heart. 

  • Uniqueness

    The 4Cs of a diamond—cut, color, clarity, and carat—each carry symbolic weight and can represent different aspects of the couple's relationship. For example, a diamond's cut can represent the care and effort put into the relationship, while its clarity can represent honesty and transparency. 

  • Bonding

    Knots and braids can symbolize a close and unbreakable bond, similar to the idea of "tying the knot" when entering a marriage. 

  • Strength and vulnerability

    A diamond ring can symbolize the balance between strength and vulnerability. 

The tradition of giving engagement rings dates back to ancient Rome, when couples exchanged simple iron bands. The practice evolved over time to include precious metals and gemstones.
