While looking through pictures of religious tattoos I happened upon this excellent example of a Bahai engagement ring, which features the Bahai symbol discussed in an earlier post on the Bahai faith.

You'll note that the engagement ring is not simply worn by the woman. The following photo, albeit a little blurry, illustrates how couples in the Bahai faith use dual engagement rings to symbolize their spiritual unity:

Which just goes to show that if the folks at De Beers were paying closer attention to the BofG, they'd find a quick and easy way to at least double the existing market for diamond jewelry: diamonds for all affianced, arrayed in the religious symbol of their choice!
