The Circle is one of the most important and significant symbols that has been adapted by cultures, both ancient and modern; it represents unity, infinity and wholeness. Not surprisingly, rings have been worn as a symbol of betrothal for centuries. The Egyptians were the first to wear the ring on the fourth finger of the left hand, where the "vein of love" supposedly connects straight to the heart.
The very first diamond engagement ring was given to Mary of Burgundy in 1477 from the Archduke Maximilian of Austria, but it was only during the 19th century when an extensive supply of diamonds were found in Africa (allowing them to be more affordable and attainable), that diamonds began appearing in engagement rings.
In 1886, Tiffany introduced the six prong solitaire diamond engagement ring and this classic Tiffany setting remains one of the most popular engagement ring styles today. After poking around the Tiffany's website, we were reminded of one of the most fabulous movie proposal scenes ever, which I think we all need to watch again. Hint: Blue boxes, diamonds & Patrick Dempsey!! Enjoy!
Nice post.This tutorial is well reseached and well said that the wedding ring should be worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, where the "vein of love" supposedly connects straight to the heart.
