An engagement ring, often made of gold or platinum and set with a diamond, is given to a woman upon agreeing to get married. In some contemporary societies, men also wear engagement rings.

The tradition of wearing wedding rings dates back to ancient Greece and Rome, where they were originally associated with a marital dowry and later with fidelity.

A good rule of thumb is to choose a chain length that falls just above or below her collarbone and looks proportionate to her body type.
