An engagement ring is a piece of jewelry that a man gives to a girl on her engagement day. If the girl accepts the ring, the engagement is considered completed, and the participants in the action acquire the status of bride and groom.
Unfortunately, rings often get lost. This happens both due to an error with the size, when the ring turns out to be slightly too large, and due to a long period of wearing. Often, more than one year can pass between engagement and wedding. Or maybe the wedding has already passed, and the ring was lost after?
We understand that you are upset. What to do?
Why does a ring get lost?
In the exact interpretation of the signs, much depends on the purpose of the ring, as well as on the way in which the jewelry came to the person:
- If a girl has lost her engagement ring, there will be a quarrel with her chosen one in the future. Depending on the circumstances, things may not come to a wedding.
- The loss of a wedding ring leads to problems in relationships with a partner, divorce, or the death of a loved one.
- The loss of religious jewelry with the inscription “Save and Preserve” is a sign of insincerity in relations with God, false faith.
If a gift is lost, a quarrel with the donor will soon occur.
Stones fall out of the ring: signs
Oh, these signs, you can’t understand anything with them: on the one hand, stones fall out of the ring for good, on the other – for misfortune. Interpretations of this sign are at diametrically opposite poles.
For example, a stone falling out of a given ring can signify both a rapprochement with the donor and a cooling of the relationship, even to the point of separation. Other signs are equally contradictory. If a stone falls out of the ring:
- Engagement or wedding. On the one hand, this indicates that the negativity has left the relationship, on the other hand, it foreshadows quarrels, mutual accusations, betrayal, and material collapse.
- Bought by yourself. If you believe the signs, this phenomenon can signify changes for the better and troubles on all fronts at the same time. So interpret it as you like!
- Inherited. There’s a whole lot here: from complete blackness (serious illness and death) to absolute protection of ancestors from all troubles.
According to supporters of occult mineralogy, each stone carries special energy and accentuates certain character traits. In their opinion, a dropped pebble is a sign that this mineral is simply not suitable for you at this time in your life.
Sign depending on the decoration material
The loss of a ring is interpreted differently depending on the material, as well as the circumstances of the loss and some features of the owner’s life situation. If you happen to lose a gold ring, according to popular belief, one of the following signs comes into play:
- Absolution if the owner of the ring has recently violated any of the commandments.
- Restoring lost financial stability. The sign works only if, at the time of losing the gold jewelry, the owner is plagued by bad luck.
- If business is going well, on the contrary, you should expect a series of failures that will begin a few days after the jewelry goes missing.
Losing a silver ring is a sign without positive interpretations. She foretells:
- long separation from a loved one;
- death of someone close to you.
The loss of a ring made of base metals does not lead to catastrophic consequences. The statement is viewed both from the point of view of financial losses and from the position of superstition. It is believed that in this case the owner of the missing ring is waiting for:
- Disappointment in one's activities, dissatisfaction with the work done, the reward received.
- Negative impressions if the ring disappears on the eve of the trip.
- Minor quarrels in the family or with friends.
Is it bad to drop a ring on the floor in the registry office?
It is believed that dropping a ring on the floor in the registry office is one of the worst omens. A newborn family faces a full range of misfortunes: discord, financial difficulties, childlessness - and so on until the death of one of the spouses.
Nevertheless, many newlyweds drop their rings simply because of excitement (of course, such a day!), and then they live a long time and live in perfect harmony. Quite often the opposite situation is observed. “Folk wisdom” is bashfully silent about such cases.

In fact, if the ring fell on the floor, it is really bad, but there is no mysticism in this phenomenon. As mentioned above, gold is a very soft metal, and a blow can cause “difficult jewelry” to be scratched, bent, or lose stones. But the damage is unlikely to be so serious that it cannot be repaired in the workshop.
What does loss promise for a woman and a man?
If one of the couple had to lose a ring, the consequences depend on the gender of the loser. A man, according to signs, risks becoming a widower after losing his marriage symbol.
For women, the list of consequences is more varied and includes:
- spouse's infidelity;
- his illness;
- serious family quarrel;
- treason;
- divorce.
Such items are most often made of precious metals, so their loss in itself is a financial loss for the family. But the appearance of signs is caused by subconscious accusations and suspicions on the part of the spouse that the person does not value marriage. The engagement ring is a symbol of such a union, and since a man or woman has forgotten it somewhere, they, according to the suspicions of other people, do not value the relationship.
Signs to follow
If the bride or groom’s ring falls before the ceremony, then separation will soon occur. What to do? Don't worry, the situation can be fixed!
