Beloved,
An engagement ring is more than adornment; it’s a quiet testament. Whispering, “I see you, truly.” A tender reminder of belonging, resting where hands meet. Choose the symbol reflecting your devotion’s depth – the perfect echo of your profound connection.
Always, Novello

ENGAGEMENT RING FAQs
No, an engagement ring and a wedding ring are not the same. An engagement ring is typically given during a marriage proposal and often features a center diamond or gemstone as a symbol of commitment. A wedding ring, also called a wedding band, is exchanged by both partners during the wedding ceremony and usually has a simpler, band-style design.
While both rings are worn on the ring finger of the left hand, their meanings and timing differ. Some people choose matching sets, while others prefer individual styles. Today, many couples wear both rings together, stacking the wedding band below the engagement ring.
Understanding the difference between engagement rings and wedding rings helps you make a more informed decision when shopping for bridal jewelry.
An engagement ring typically features a center gemstone — most commonly a diamond — set on a metal band. The classic design includes a solitaire setting with a single stone, but modern styles may include halo settings, side stones, or vintage details.
From timeless solitaire rings to elaborate custom designs, engagement rings come in many shapes, including round, oval, princess, pear, and emerald cuts — each creating a unique appearance on the hand.
The best engagement ring shape depends on your style. Round brilliant is the most popular for its sparkle and classic look. Oval, pear, and marquise shapes make fingers look longer, while princess and emerald cuts offer a modern or vintage feel. Each shape has unique beauty — choose what suits your taste and lifestyle best.
An engagement ring is usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand. This tradition comes from an ancient Roman belief in the “vena amoris” — a vein in that finger said to lead directly to the heart. Today, it's a symbol of love and commitment, though in some cultures, it's worn on the right hand instead.
It’s best to buy an engagement ring at least 1–3 months before the proposal. This gives you time to research styles, compare prices, and allow for custom designs or resizing. Shopping early ensures you find the perfect ring without rushing the decision.
