== Engagement Rings ==
Engagement rings are rings that are exchanged at the time of marriage. Originally, monsters had no such tradition, it was a human tradition, but monsters have also come to practice it through the faith of [[Eros|the goddess of love]]. When a monster couple exchanges engagement rings, these magic gems are often used. The bride and groom will imbue their mamono mana and essence respectively in the magic gems of the two rings and exchange them with each other. The bride will put on the ring of the groom's color, and the groom will put on the ring of the bride's color.

Engagement rings are not necessary for marriage, but even a monster with no interest in jewels will change her tune if it's something that contains the essence of her beloved husband. She'd be very pleased to have proof of the love she shares with her husband, and she'd continue to treasure it. A ring infused with the essence of her husband can make a monster feel like she's always with him whenever she's wearing it.

Furthermore, the color and brilliance of magic gems varies depending on the individual. It would be extremely rare, but it's probably even possible for them to change into mere stones that are poor in color and lack brilliance. However, that sort of thing doesn't matter to monsters. As far as monsters are concerned, what's even more important than the fact that it's a jewel, is the fact that it's a stone containing their husband's essence.<ref>[https://monstergirlencyclopedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Monster_Girl_Encyclopedia_World_Guide_II#Yarns_and_mamono_realms_minerals Pg.75]</ref><ref>[http://www.monstergirlsredux.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1161 Magic Gems]</ref>
