The history of the engagement ring is rich with tradition and symbolism. According to anthropologists, its origins span various cultures, but one enduring belief comes from the Roman writer Macrobius, who noted that the fourth finger of the left hand was believed to contain a vein that led directly to the heart , the vena amoris.

In 1477, this tradition took on new meaning when Archduke Maximilian of Austria commissioned a diamond ring to mark his engagement to Mary of Burgundy. The diamond, known for its strength and brilliance, became a symbol of a lifelong promise, enduring and unbreakable, just like the stone itself.

The story of your life together begins with a question, a promise, and a ring. A ring represents eternity, a perfect circle with no beginning and no end, a timeless symbol of the love and commitment shared when one says, I do.
