What is an engagement ring?

It would seem, what questions can be? This is a thin rim that the bride and groom put on each other after the marriage ceremony - secular or church. In fact, everything is not so simple.

Shape matters

This item has its own characteristics:

• lack of stones;
• lack of volume elements from the same metal;
• lack of the slightest irregularities.

Important! The appearance of this decoration is a sign in itself. A smooth ring, without bulges and hollows, portends a happy family life. A union where all problems are resolved peacefully and calmly, where different opinions do not become a cause of contention, is, at heart, dreaming, probably, of anyone who even decided to marry. Therefore, such a symbol has developed.

Materials - there are priorities

Wedding rings are most often made of noble metals:

• gold;
• silver;
• platinum.

Important! The most popular metal is gold. There is a practical explanation for this preference. This metal has always been valued, and in case of serious financial difficulties it could very much help a family in trouble. Moreover, it easily melts, so that jewelers love it more than, for example, platinum. Yes, and the appearance of gold remains unchanged longer, which can not be said about the rapidly darkening silver. But selling wedding rings has always been considered the most extreme measure when there is no other way out.

Wedding and wedding

Many couples choose only one marriage ceremony - secular. Others prefer to get married in a church. In our time, both are permissible; both families have equal rights.

But the symbolism of these ceremonies is somewhat different:

• At the Wedding Palace, the bride and groom exchange wedding rings, or even may not wear them at all.
• The church uses wedding rings over which the priest performs a certain ritual.

Important! A hundred years ago, the difference between these items was very large. Wedding rings were worn during betrothal, that is, engagement - public or secret. The wedding ones were preparing for the wedding. Both were considered family heirlooms, were kept together with other sacred objects and were inherited.

Gold bezel magic

Since ancient times, magical significance has been attributed to wedding rings:

• There was such a rite: a man put on a golden ring without any stones and went out to wash himself with rainwater. It was believed that this promises health, strength and wealth.
• Very worried about our ancestors and the slightest damage to this item. It was believed that scratches and dents did not bode well.
• And if it happened to drop the bride or groom before the ceremony or during it - there were simply no worse signs. This portended either a betrayal of the spouse, or a quick death.

Based on all this, it is quite clear that the question arises of what to do if you have lost an engagement ring.

The ring has disappeared - what does it mean?

For many peoples, who generally use similar symbols of love and fidelity, the loss of a sacred object is considered, if not quite a bad omen, then at least a cause for concern.

Superstitious people believe that if you lose your engagement ring, this portends:

• divorce;
• cheating on spouse or spouse;
• large financial expenses;
• imminent health problems.

Important! The loss of the wedding ring was sometimes considered a foreshadowing of the imminent death of a loved one. In any case, people who are inclined to believe in magic began to fear for the integrity of their family.

Is it really?

Signs are a complex phenomenon. Psychologists are still arguing about what exactly happens when something happens that portends bad consequences:

• higher powers send people a sign that something terrible will happen;
• people who know what sign to what are beginning to expect consequences, thereby bringing these consequences closer.

What to do if a wife lost her engagement ring?

Quite often, the situation looks like this:

1. The wife firmly believes that loss is to her husband's betrayal.
2. Starts to think about it sometimes.
3. The husband feels that his wife is communicating with him somehow wrong.
4. He notices interrogative glances and unusual intonations.
5. He does not like the fact that his wife suspects him of something, even if she is smart and does not express it out loud.
6. He begins to pay attention to other women with whom he feels calmer.
7. In the end, it comes to treason, and even to divorce.

Important! Therefore, if the wife has lost the engagement ring, this is not necessary. No need to suspect the husband of what he did not do - thoughts tend to turn into actions, so if you think that your half is wrong to you - that’s how it will turn out in the end.

Husband lost engagement ring - what to do?

Men lose rings no less than their wives. And it doesn’t matter at all on whose hand there is no more jewelry dear to the heart. This golden bezel is so unreliable - it is quite smooth, always striving to slip or roll somewhere if you removed it during cleaning.

In any case, do not panic. It is best to immediately try to find a piece of jewelry. The house will have to be cleaned again, especially if there are a lot of things in the apartment. Do not be surprised if you need to move the cabinet or refrigerator. A small object will find where he should go, so that the owners will get involved.

However, you shouldn’t worry especially, it can still be found at home - of course, if it didn’t occur to your baby to lower it into the toilet.

To speed up the process, it is not superfluous to act in this way:

1. Remember where the person who lost the ring was and what he did.
2. Go through all the corners in which he was.
3. Check all items that have been touched.

Crazy Brownie

Everywhere we looked, but what's the point? Try to appease your Brownie. For example, like this: “Brownie, Brownie, play and give it back!”. You can put a saucer with milk in a corner, and put candies next to it - they say brownies love such treats.

Important! This very often helps even those who do not believe in spirits - just a person relaxes, false memories leave thoughts, and the right ones, on the contrary, return, and everything falls into place. As a result, if the husband or wife lost the engagement ring, it is located. And nothing more needs to be done.

If it was not at home

Worse, if you do not know exactly where you managed to lose your ring. But do not think that all the villains live around, who are just waiting for an expensive item to fall into their hands to pocket it. It is possible, of course, that it is so, but still try:

• contact local media - especially those with lost property tables;
• to look into online communities - it is possible that someone already advertised an interesting find there;
• write a message to the most popular of the communities with a request to return the artifact dear to you.

Basically around you are exactly the same people who, too, can lose a thing dear to them and understand you perfectly. And it is not at all possible that someone will give you your little ring even without a fee or for a box of juice.

If nothing helps

Your ring was not found? Unpleasant, but it does not matter. There are several ways to do this. It all depends on your character:

• you are a strong person, you know how to take responsibility and hide your emotions;
• you are not very confident, you need support.

The situation with great willpower

In the first case, you can not say anything to your spouse. Just buy or order yourself a new ring, exactly the same as the old one. The most important thing is not to let your loved ones feel that you are alarmed by something, then they will remain calm, will not wait for trouble - and she will not come.

Important! This is a risky method and is available only to very powerful people. Engraving on the ring can significantly complicate matters - you have to look for the same master and make the same inscription.

All other situations

In all other cases, it’s better to do this:

1. Tell your spouse everything that happened.
2. Explain that you need to swap a pair of rings.
3. Buy new rings.
4. Donate the rest of the old to charity, and if you are a believer, give it to the church.

Important! If you are married, go to your ward and ask the priest to consecrate your new rings.

So that the rings do not get lost

Some things, of course, have the peculiarity of living their own lives. But still, we must try not to give them free rein, otherwise - they will periodically run away from the owners and hide in the most unexpected places.

What can make your little ring always in sight?

1. The order in the house.
2. Permanent habits.
3. Neat appearance.
4. Competent behavior during quarrels.

Accuracy

At different ages, a person looks different. Some - after the wedding, rapidly lose weight, others - grow stout. The clothes are bought new, but nothing can be done with the engagement ring.

Is it really nothing? Check how tightly it sits on your finger, whether it has a desire to slip. If you have, go to a jeweler and ask them to adjust the ring to a new standard. The risk of losing it will decrease dramatically.

House order

In a house where every thing knows its place, losing something is pretty hard. What is there - hard! Almost impossible. Magic or not, but a ring or an earring, even if you forgot them on the refrigerator, will certainly return to the box. You will not even notice how this happens - you will do everything on the machine.

It is especially important to determine the place where to put jewelry before heading to the bathroom.

Important! It is noticed that the rings are most often lost there, and sometimes irrevocably. Accustom yourself and your half to remove the ring and everything else and neatly put them in a box specially designated for this.

Habits

Habits are the basis of order. Observe yourself and your spouse in different situations:

• Where does each of you put rings, watches, bracelets when they prevent you from doing something?
• When the work is finished - what happens to the jewelry?

Important! If any action is repeated day after day (for example, washing dishes or sewing), place a container next to which you can put a ring or chain. Then you will know for sure that you have not left him to the mercy of fate.

Quarrel culture

Family life is not without disputes. Even if people are very fond of each other and know how to negotiate, on some issues they may not agree. This must be understood and accepted. And do not take disagreement as a mortal resentment and a reason for divorce. And what should not be done in any case is to pull off the ring during a quarrel and throw somewhere, whether in its half or just in a corner. That will look away, and with such an attitude to the matter, the sign of divorce will certainly come true.

If you find a ring

And what if you find a wedding ring? For starters, think about the person who lost him. Maybe he is looking for an object dear to him. Maybe he believes in signs and is now waiting for all sorts of troubles. Therefore, the best option is to return the decoration.

Doing this is not always easy. Of course, there are find tables, but there is no guarantee that the victim knows about their existence or that extremely honest and decent people work there. Therefore, the best option is to advertise in the most popular publications and groups on social networks. It is not necessary to describe the find in detail, just indicate what you found and where. And indicate where to go. When they call you or write to you - in detail ask about the subject. Maybe there are some signs known only to its owner.

And what to do if the owner was not found and you have to leave the ring in yourself - do not throw it away? There are several ways to do this.

Give the item to the nearest church or charity.

Smelted it to other jewelry.

Stock footage

A charity will find a way to turn the ring into money, and you will no longer be responsible. As for the manufacture of jewelry, here the consideration is simple. Such an item always carries information about the former owner, who for some reason could not contact you. You do not know anything about this person, so do not try to take on his fate. Having given the jewelry to the jeweler, you will begin to treat it simply as metal - a material from which you can make something.
