Right Hand Diamond Rings - Not Just For Married Women
By April | August 24, 2007
The latest trend to arrive in the diamond jewellery industry is the right hand diamond ring. Buy your own diamond ring? Surely not! Well, that’s exactly what’s happening and is one of the hottest trends to hit the fashion scene.
Wearing a diamond ring was always more acceptable for the left hand. When we think of diamond rings we think of the traditional engagement rings or wedding rings, which of course are worn on the ring finger of the left hand.
Gone are the days when women looked for housekeeping money from their husbands, women are much more financially independent now. The right hand diamond ring symbolizes success, self-assertiveness and freedom, which is sort of the opposite of what the left hand diamond rings symbolize with love, commitment and union.
Right hand diamond rings are designed differently than the engagement rings. The stones are often smaller and there are usually more stones compared to a single one that we normally see with matrimonial rings.
Right hand rings came about because of the obsession for women to gain what the left hand rings stood for. The right hand rings are to show women they can be successful and independent without needing a partner in their life to be successful.
The modern woman strives to distance herself from the June Cleaver, submissive housewife icon that plagued women for ages. It plays on their independence and their feminist side that says you don’t have to be married to feel valued or loved.
Marketing possibilities have broadened for diamond rings. They use to market to men, the person spending money on the engagement ring. But today, they’re honing in on advertising campaigns that cater to a woman’s sense of self worth.
It’s not just married women that can wear them, single women can to show their empowerment. It symbolizes strength in spirit, which married women can have as well as the successful single woman. These rings have also gained popularity simply because they are beautiful and something new to try out – a trend everyone’s enjoying.
Right hand rings can also make the perfect gift for any strong spirited woman in your life, so browse through the different designs and find one that matches her personality.
