In Western cultures, an engagement ring is viewed as the physical representation of a sacred promise. A promise that encompasses commitment, unity and eternal love, through the marriage of two people.
The giving of an engagement ring means “I love you, I want you and I want to be your lifelong partner”. The acceptance of an engagement ring is a reciprocal promise.
Engagement rings are usually worn on the third finger of the left hand and symbolise that the wearer is in a committed relationship. They are typically crafted from a range of precious metals and set with single or multiple dazzling gemstones such as diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds. Diamonds set into platinum or gold are a popular choice.
At Allum & Sidaway we understand that choosing an engagement ring can be a daunting undertaking. Whether you are choosing one for your beloved, or for yourself, it is a ring that will be worn and cherished for many years, maybe generations. Many engagement rings become family heirlooms, handed down from Mothers to Sons and Daughters, with significant meaning and worth.

Take a breath. Relax and enjoy this precious journey. Start by thinking about what kind of ring will represent you and your loved one, your hopes, your relationship and your promise of commitment to a long and happy marriage.
