Engagement: A Guide to Love and Craft by Schalins

Engagement is one of the most significant events in life, a moment filled with love, promises and anticipation. Choosing the right engagement ring is part of this special journey, and at Schalins we are dedicated to making this moment unforgettable. In this article, we explore everything you need to know about engagement and how to choose the perfect ring.

What is an engagement?

An engagement marks the promise between two people to marry. It is a symbol of love and commitment, often embodied in a ring worn on the left ring finger. The engagement is the beginning of the journey towards the wedding and life together. It's a moment celebrated by both the couple and their loved ones, and the ring serves as a constant reminder of that vow.

The story of the engagement ring

The engagement ring has a long and rich history that stretches back to ancient Egypt, where rings were designed as circles – a symbol of eternity. The tradition of giving an engagement ring began in the Roman Empire and has evolved over the centuries into the form we know today. During the Middle Ages, it became common for the ring to be adorned with diamonds, as these were considered the strongest and most valuable of all precious stones. Today, diamond rings are a popular symbol of engagement, but there are many other options to choose from depending on personal taste and style.

Choosing the perfect engagement ring

Choosing an engagement ring can feel overwhelming given the many options. Here are some tips for finding the perfect ring:

  • Style and design: Choose a ring that reflects your partner's personality and style. Schalins offers a wide range of designs from classic to modern. You can choose between plain rings, rings with patterns or those adorned with diamonds and precious stones.
  • Materials: Our rings are made from high quality materials such as gold, platinum, palladium and silver. We only use 100% recycled fine gold and conflict-free diamonds. The choice of material not only affects the appearance of the ring, but also its durability and feel.
  • Quality of the stone: When it comes to diamonds, remember the four Cs – Carat (weight), Clarity (clarity), Color (color) and Cut (cut). Schalin's diamonds are carefully selected and certified to ensure the highest quality. A well-cut diamond reflects light in a way that gives the stone its characteristic sparkling appearance.
  • Fit: The ring should feel comfortable to wear every day. Schalins offers custom sizes to ensure the perfect fit. Getting the right size is essential for both comfort and safety, so that the ring fits well on the finger without slipping off or feeling too tight.
