WHO WEARS THE ENGAGEMENT RING?

In France, it is generally the woman who wears the engagement ring on the ring finger of the left hand, in the same place as the wedding ring. This ring is most often given during the marriage proposal, but it is entirely possible to adapt this moment to your desires. Some couples prefer to choose the engagement ring together after the proposal. It is a way of getting involved together and ensuring that the jewel corresponds 100% to the person for whom it is intended.

Wearing your engagement ring on the fourth finger of the left hand is a tradition. Since ancient times, the ring finger has symbolized the direct path to the heart. Since then, this meaning has persisted, although it is not governed by any rules and is solely up to the future spouses to decide.

WHY WEAR A CHAUMET ENGAGEMENT RING?

We offer you a large number of creations, embodiments of distinction and elegance, to seal your union. Our iconic Joséphine engagement rings crown the finger with grace and character. The platinum Liens d’Amour solitaire delicately reflects the feelings shared between two beings. The Sérénade solitaire stands out with its graceful lines and its play of volume. As for the Bee My Love collection, it seduces with its graphic and contemporary aspect. Each engagement ring has a matching wedding ring if you wish to coordinate your jewelry.

Our diamonds have undergone a rigorous selection process based on the 4C criteria developed by the GIA: color, purity, cut and carat weight. We have added a fifth criterion, specific to the Maison: harmony. Each diamond is chosen for its symmetry, its brilliance and the emotion it exudes.

We adopt an ethical approach. The origin of the raw materials and more particularly of the diamonds used by the Maison respects the Kimberley process. Chaumet has also been a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council since 2005. Each diamond greater than 0.30 carat is accompanied by a Gemological Institute of America certificate. This includes an individual number engraved on the stone, proof of the authenticity and uniqueness of the diamond.
