Could Engagement Watches Be the New Engagement Ring?
People have been proposing with engagement rings since the early 20th century, with the popularity of De Beers, the infamous British company who introduced the slogan "a diamond is forever" in 1947. But did you know that the engagement ring got its meaning way back in 850? According to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), Pope Nicholas I declared that the engagement ring was a symbol of a man's intent to marry. Back then, women sported rings in gold, ivory, and copper to affirm their mutual love.
