Rings have always been perceived in different ways, depending on the historical period and the culture we're referring to. One common denominator has always been the meaning of the circle.

The meanings of the engagement ring since the earliest times
The woman who wore a valuable engagement ring was, without a doubt, a woman of poise, thanks to the elegance and refinement that a valuable piece of jewellery lends. However, the ring hasn't always been merely an act of love. Here is a chronology of the main meanings of the engagement ring.
The Egyptians gave engagement rings to show their wealth. This tradition has been carried on to the present day, when gentlemen vie to demonstrate the extent of their love for their chosen woman by giving the most precious engagement ring. Such an accessory became more and more popular because, for them, the circle was a symbol of infinity, a gateway to unknown worlds. It was also the Egyptians who wore rings on the fourth finger of the left hand, because they said that this was where the vein of love lay, leading straight to the heart.
Later, the Romans gave the engagement ring a different meaning. It indicated that the woman wearing it was in a relationship with a man, which meant she wasn't allowed to have a relationship with anyone else. After marriage, the woman received two rings: one of gold, which she wore in public, and another of iron, which she wore to do the household chores.
In the Middle Ages, these diamond pieces of jewellery were considered a promise of marriage. This showed that the two were going to build a life together. In this way, it prevented a woman from marrying several people. That's how the term "engagement" came about.
The ring - the symbol of absolute love
It was only in the Renaissance period that the engagement ring began to express feelings of love. Relationships were no longer based solely on facilitating alliances between families. Playwrights such as Shakespeare began to write about absolute love. In this way, people began to look upon love and romance with a more open heart.
In the period known as the Romantic era, namely the Victorian age, valuable rings began to take on ever greater importance in a woman's life. People offered personalised rings, engraved with love poems and delicate details. This trend began with the example of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Later, the importance of rings in the 20th century was marked by the famous De Beers marketing campaign, which emphasised the idea that diamonds are the only way to show your love and encouraged people to buy them, because "diamonds are forever". Women are guided by this quote even today.
