Did you know that engagement rings are traditionally worn on your left finger because in the past it was believed that the vein in that finger leads straight up to your heart? Today, this tradition is still around even though modern scientific findings have proven that theory wrong. Another tradition that exists is that a woman will transfer her engagement ring from her left hand to her right hand so she can wear the wedding ring on her left finger.
Engagement rings and bands and wedding rings can come in bridal sets. The band and the ring will match perfectly so that you can choose to wear them together or separately. There are many of different styles of the bridal ring sets, from interlocking bands to matching designs. Typically, there will be a solitaire with or without accents on one ring and the other will be a simple band without diamonds or stones.
