When the man proposes, he will give a ring inlaid with precious stones, not limited to diamonds. If it is a traditional family, it is usually handed down from home, which is not necessarily expensive, but it will be very meaningful. Nowadays, many people also buy new jewelry, which is usually inlaid. According to the custom of our country, the engagement ring is usually worn on the middle finger of the left hand, indicating that there is a heart.

In foreign countries, the wearing method of marriage proposal ring is different. It is usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand, because wearing a ring on the ring finger of the left hand means that you are married or engaged to the outside world, and other boys have no chance, so girls are willing to wear it on the ring finger, which means they are willing to marry boys.
