There comes a time in a relationship when a man realizes that the woman he is currently dating is the one. At this point, one can clearly envision a future where they love each other, live together, raise children, and grow old while holding hands. But how do you tell your wife-to-be that you want to be together? You already know the answer. When a man pulls out a small box with a ring inside it in front of a woman, he is expressing his willingness to be with her for the rest of his life. Women, on the other hand, use engagement rings as a subtle sign to inform people that she is getting married. Subtlety is not much practiced today, though, as word often travels fast about the engagement. Still, an engagement ring is something nice to look at, and brides-to-be would more than happy to show their rings to their friends. In a few countries, an emerging practice would be for the woman to also purchase an accompanying ring for her fiancé to wear. Some say that this is small but important step to achieve gender equality in relationships. Prior to this, only women wear engagement rings while men can go about their day without people knowing that he is about to be married. How Men Pick the Rings Unlike some women who have already seen how their weddings will be like while they are still seven, men only think about engagement when the moment dawns on them. They do not buy an engagement ring and then pull it to any woman they are currently going out with. However, when the right woman comes, they would start looking for the right engagement ring. The selection and the succeeding purchase are often done in secret. In order to help men who are artistically challenged, jewelry stores have an entire section devoted to engagement rings with various designs. The basic structure would have a metal ring (usually gold or silver) topped by a precious stone. The choice for many men would always be diamond due to its strength and beauty. Diamonds also do not come cheap, and their value would greatly depend on the cut, carat weight, color, and clarity. There are other gemstones that can be considered. Ultimately, men choose engagement rings based on what they think is the most beautiful or the most expensive that they can afford. Price or beauty aside, what matters most is that when the proposal comes, it is hoped that the woman should look at the ring and understand what it means, not look at the ring and wonder how much it costs. The Proposal Equally important to the engagement ring is the proposal itself. Most men take their girl to an elegant dinner and pop out the question right there. Others go as creative as they can, because hopefully, they will only do this once in their life. Several proposals have been done in public, especially sports games with not-so-good results. Others propose under the sea. For what its worth, the proposal and the engagement rings bring out the romantics in all of us. Now let us hope that the girl says yes.

When someone announces that they got engaged, don’t most people, especially ones you know, excitedly congratulate you and ask to see your ring?  Did engagement rings lose their fascination?  I think it must have because that’s what happened to me.  At least, I think maybe it happened to me because when I talk to people about it, they seem to think differently.  Anyway, I recently got engaged – yay, I’m so happy!  When I made the announcement to my close friends, they seemed happy for me too, maybe not overly excited, but happy.  I usually thought at this point, people would grab my left hand to see my ring, but no one really did.  No one really asked to even see my ring.  Well, I’m exaggerating.  A couple of them did as well as my immediate family, but not even some of my close cousins asked.  I was a little shocked, maybe even a little hurt.  I wanted to show off my ring, not because I’m a showy person, but because I guess that is what I expected.  Plus, my fiancé spent a lot of time in choosing my ring after looking at so many diamond engagement rings, and I know he’s proud that he was able to even pick a ring on his own.  Hmmm, I wonder where I even got this notion of how people, women especially, typically act during engagement announcements.  I blame the movies and TV.  I also think and observe that other people generally ask to see the ring just because we’re all curious, and I know that I excitedly ask to see my girlfriends’ engagement rings.  So why did I get a different reaction?

I’m lucky that I get to choose my engagement ring. It’s funny, my fiancé didn’t propose to me like most people. No setting off to a secret, romantic, or exotic location and getting down on one knee, saying, “Will you marry me?” Just a simple, “When do you want to look for engagement rings?” And I’m okay with this “proposal.” I already knew he’s the one that I want to marry and vice versa. We already talked about marriage four months into the relationship, but we were friends two years prior. Plus, we’re older, so I don’t need all that frivolity. I’m just excited about picking out my ring! I’m having trouble picking out the type of metal to choose for my diamond engagement ring. There are so many to choose from, yellow and white golds, platinum, tungsten, titanium, and silver, and they all have their pros and cons. Right now, I’m going to stay away from silver engagement rings because the metal is too soft. Yellow gold is classic, something that my mom and her friends often choose because it’s considered precious and valuable. However, it seems like it’s going out of style. More of my friends choose white metals, and I have a lot of silver jewelry and some yellow gold pieces. Because I have more white metal jewelry, yellow gold will be towards the bottom of my list. White gold does sound appealing, and it contains gold, 75% to be more exact with 25% white metals with rhodium plating, and is durable and light. However, I heard that the metal can have a yellowish tint over the years, but it can be restored by replating it with rhodium, which be can be done while you’re waiting. Platinum has the status of wealth nowadays because it is expensive and very durable. However, it’s heavy, and a few of my friends tell me that it tends to be dull in a couple of years, scratches easily, and needs to be polished pretty often. Yet, some of my friends say that they love their platinum rings. Titanium is an even stronger metal than platinum, but it’s black. I think this metal would make a better wedding band than engagement ring, so I’m taking this metal off my list. Plus, I read that since it’s so strong, in emergency situations, no paramedic has the tools to break it off! Tungsten has the highest melting point than all the other metals, so it’s very durable and is great if you’re working in a labor-intensive environment. But it can crack if it’s hit with enough force. Hmm, I think I’ll also put this lower on my list, maybe consider it more for a wedding band. I narrowed down my choices in the following order: platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and maybe tungsten. I’ll get more of an idea of what I want to choose once I try them on tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow, my fiancé and I will begin my engagement ring search!

A wedding ring is neither an ordinary jewelry piece nor a simple fashion statement. It has been used to signify a couple's commitment to love and cherish each other throughout their lives. It represents messages of lifetime love and partnership.
