In fact, some couples may even try to incorporate some of the ideas into their own
engagement and
wedding. Below are a few fascinating traditions from different parts of the world.
Diamond Engagement Ring Traditions
Brides in India, Norway, Germany, and Russia follow a practice of wearing their
diamond engagement ring on the
ring finger of their right hand instead of wearing it on the left. This
diamond ring tradition recently gained popularity in Canada, France, England, and a few more European countries.
Both men and women exchange
engagement rings in Chile and they usually wear it on the ring finger of their right hand. However, after getting married, they will move the
engagement ring to their left finger. In Argentina, couples exchanges
ring only during the
engagement ceremony and not at the
wedding.
In traditional Indian and Hindu cultures, women wear ‘Bichiya’ or toe
rings made of silver instead of finger
rings. Similarly, Native American tribes also prefer silver
rings that are decorated with natural materials or semi-precious
stones.
