An engagement ring typically includes a diamond, a popular tradition that dates back to the 1400s to signify nobility. Today, diamond engagement rings remain one of the most popular choices because of their elegance, value and perceived ability to last forever.

What is the meaning of an engagement ring?
An engagement ring has deep meaning and tradition dating back to Roman culture. The ring itself is in the shape of a circle, signifying that the infinite love between a couple has no beginning and no end. The circle also showcases how two ends can be brought together, just like a marriage.
Engagement rings typically contain a diamond, which is one of the hardest materials in the world. The diamond plays a major role in symbolizing a love and bond that will never break.
