Engagement rings throughout History

There have been different engagement rings throughout history. Further, different cultures and countries have followed different wedding ring traditions all through these years. The Egyptians believed the third finger followed the vena amoris-the vein of love and therefore they wore the engagement ring in the third finger. The Jews, on the contrary, wear the engagement ring in their index finger instead of ring finger.

The Egyptians wore the engagement ring in their left hand because they believed that the heart was on the left side of the chest. But in many countries, including Norway, Spain, Russia, and Germany, the wedding ring is worn on the right finger instead of left.

In the Middle East, men used to give their partners puzzle rings. It is a complex piece of jewelry with several rings. Legends have it that men used to give puzzle rings to prevent their women from cheating upon them. If the woman decided to be unfaithful she would have to remove the ring and it would fall apart in her hands. If the groom found it, he would get to know that his wife was cheating upon him.

In the early colonial American era, the trend of giving Thimbles to the brides started. Women used to remove the top of their thimbles to make them into a band. In the late 16th and 17th century France and England, poesy rings gained a lot of popularity. These wedding ring bands that were made out of sterling silver used to be inscribed with sentiments of love, hope, and faith.
