They just realized that they couldn’t live without each other, so they got engaged. Now they are looking for a ring. That symbol of love and commitment. That round piece of jewelry worn on the fourth finger because early Egyptians believed the fourth finger had a vein that connected directly to the heart. It is a token of care and affection. It’s all so emotional and mushy.

They will find that it is not all that easy to find the right ring. There are so many choices that the heart will skip a bit each time one sees a style that seems to be the most beautiful only to be outshined by another. Should she choose a white gold ring or the traditional silver or yellow gold? Is diamond her pick or will she go for the non-traditional sapphire, emerald or aquamarine. Every bride-to-be is different and her choice should be one that will make her happy.
