The His And Hers Promise Rings, a symbol of love for the millennial generation.
Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate love, cherishing beautiful moments with loved ones and maybe even proposing. There is a question: which ring for engagement should you choose? Beyond the aesthetics and selection of the stone this symbol of love is a tradition that has been around for a long time. It goes back to the beginnings of love.
Giving a ring to your loved ones is a tradition that dates back to ancient Egypt. Since Antiquity, this gesture has been commonplace among all classes: a simple iron ring for lovers from modest backgrounds, the piece is made from a precious metal for those who are more fortunate. It's more than a sign of love. It is a formal agreement between the prospective spouses with their families, as well as the church prior to the wedding. The engagement ring symbolizes the promise of marriage and also the bond between the couple. It is worn on the ring finger, due to the belief of the time the "vein of love" linked this finger to the heart.
The first diamond engagement ring appeared in the 15th century. The diamond was gifted by Archduke Maximilian to Marie de Bourgogne. From then on, we have rings decorated with gems and high-quality stones more frequently.
However, it was required to wait until the 1880s before a ring with diamonds became more popular. Massive deposits were discovered in South Africa and made this valuable mineral accessible to a wider clientele. In the 1930s, Maison De Beers, an investment and trading company, made America believe in the dream of diamond rings worn by Hollywood stars. A few years later the company even made its mark with its famous formula "a diamond is eternal". Diamond engagement rings are becoming a necessity. Some are set with additional gemstones, such as ruby, sapphire, emerald, or like Lady Di's.
The diamond engagement ring has been a symbol of love across the globe.
