Where Did A Engagement Ring Orginate From?

By: Roberto Bell Home | Health-and-Fitness | Beauty


A diamond is considered to be the true expression of love. Precious diamonds leave tell tale signs of many romances from the past. These precious stones are witness to the love between a man and woman and have their own stories to tell.

The engagement day is considered to be one of the most important days of ones life. When someone is engaged, they have made a promise to love someone for a lifetime and this love is expressed through the engagement ring.

Wouldn't you wish to know more about the origin of this engagement ring tradition. There are several schools of thought on this, and one is that the first engagement rings was introduced in 1215 by Pope Innocent III, who wanted a longer waiting period between engagement and marriage, and as a sign that a man and woman are awaiting marriage, the engagement ring was born. In those times, gold and other metals were used by the common man and diamonds were used by the aristocrats for their engagement rings.

Diamond engagement rings are considered as a symbol of love and a promise of unity. Since diamonds are a woman's best friends, they hold a special place in a woman's heart and what better way than to start your life together by giving her a diamond engagement ring.

Diamond engagement rings are available in a variety of shapes, colors, cuts etc. The cut of a diamond is very important and that is what gives the diamond its glean, finish, and brilliance of color and sharpness. The Emerald cut diamond engagement ring is cut to square or rectangular. The marquise cut makes the diamond look larger and makes the fingers look longer and slender. The heart shaped engagement ring is very popular as an engagement ring, because of the heart shape, which speaks of romance. The pear cut engagement ring is also known as the tear drop, because of the rounded edge and a point. Because of the length of the diamond, this can give a slimming effect to the fingers.

Although the shape of diamonds is totally a personal choice, the most popular are the round cut diamond engagement rings, as there are more styles available. These round engagement rings are available in various metals like white gold, normal gold, and platinum. A single solitaire is used for these rings and the round diamond engagement ring has a charm not to be seen in other rings. They spell class and they are even a good buy for the youngsters today.

With so many choices of diamond engagement rings in the market, it is very easy to get something to please her and give her a lifetime of joy. An auspicious diamond engagement ring is said to bring luck to the couple and see them through their journey of life. It may just be a superstition; buy one that makes you feel good about it, is worth believing in.

Look at the glint in her eyes when you swish out that elegant dazzling diamond engagement ring and slip it on her beautiful long finger.
