Matching Rings For Couples history and tradition: a promise to love
The Simple Matching Bracelets is not a simple jewel, but is a symbol rich in significance and carries an old tradition that dates back to a few centuries ago.
Since ancient times, the gift of a ring is the seal of a promise of love.
It is believed that the tradition of gifting an engagement ring to the woman of one's dreams originates from the Egyptians who believed that it was given to the woman as a token of respect and trust and a way of indicating that she was considered an important person to whom one could count and with whom one could marry and have the family.
The Romans were known to present two rings to the bride, one made of iron to wear at home and another in gold, for wearing in public. Also in Roman times, the idea of putting the rings on the ring finger of the left hand expanded due to the fact that it was once believed that a direct line to the heart, known as vena amoris, started from this point.
Over the years, engagement rings have undergone an important change. They are now more like the type we are familiar with today.
In 1477, Archduke Maximilian gave his wife Mary of Burgundy an ring with a diamond encrusted on the top. It was at this time that diamonds make their appearance for the first time. A tradition that has survived throughout the centuries, becoming a fixed stage in the wedding ceremony itself.
De Beers, a company known for its diamond engagement rings commissioned a campaign in 1974 that established the tradition of giving diamonds as gifts. It was a wildly popular campaign, immortalized in the timeless slogan "A diamond is for ever". He was able to revive the American diamond industry. In 1939, only 10 percent of rings included diamonds. In 1990, the number grew to 80 percent.
The most well-known engagement rings of the moment are the solitaire ring, the one with a riviera design and small diamonds or the tri-ring comprised of three diamonds and represents "yesterday tomorrow, today, and today together".
