Engagement Rings Are A Wonderful Symbol of Love, But Have You Ever Stopped To Wonder About The History Behind The Tradition And The Ring Itself?

Following this, the Edwardian era popularized filigree settings, still with a mix of stones.

The famous diamond engagement ring as we know it did not become extremely popular until 1947 when diamond company De Beers put out advertisements and slogans that really stuck with people.

While signifying the stones’ durability, the phrase “A Diamond Is Forever” was also seen as a metaphor for an ever-lasting marriage.

Needless to say, the campaign was successful, and now diamond engagement rings have been seen as the optimal choice not only in America but all across the globe.
