Origin of the Engagement Ring

In the Medieval culture, a woman who was pledged to be married would wear rings made of rush, which is a flexible marsh plant. The groom placed the rings on three of the bride’s fingers to represent the Holy Trinity, that being the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

In the early days of trade, when farming and a simple way of life was common, the tradition of the engagement ring developed. Gold rings were commonly used for bartering, or even used as currency.

Originally called a ‘betrothed ring’, a man would offer a woman a gold ring during courting, as a way of establishing his intentions. More importantly, back in those times, the gold ring established financial well-being and indicated to the woman’s family that she would be provided for.
