Although the engagement ring became distinct from a wedding ring in the 15th century in Europe, the tradition of marriage harkens back to Antiquity, providing an occasion to offer jewels as romantic as they were sumptuous. Today a universal symbol of amorous commitment, the engagement ring experienced several transformations throughout the centuries, even before being set with the most gorgeous of diamonds. A real jewelry adventure that we propose to experience together!
