Everything around the engagement ring:

The engagement ring is the visible expression that two people in love want to marry in the future.
Most of the engagement rings are made from gold, white gold or platinum.

Normally is the engagement ring given during the year before the planned wedding. Fitting occasion could be the Valentine´s Day, birthday, Christmas, New Years Eve or the anniversary but any other possibility is right as well!
The engagement ring is worn in middle Europe on the ring finger of the left hand on the day of the wedding on the right hand. So that you do not get confused: in the traditional sense are the engagement ring and the wedding ring worn on the same finger.

This way you can make a preselection, concerning the price as well, that the jeweller will present to you future bride to choose from.
If you as the bride want to respond the ring handing over return the favor with a watch, a precious pen or a pair of cuff links.
