A brief history of engagement rings
The tradition of giving a diamond engagement ring dates back to the 15th century. The first person to give such a ring to his beloved was Archduke Maximilian I of Habsburg, who proposed to Mary of Burgundy in 1477.
Since then, diamond engagement rings have become an inseparable symbol of love, and the customs associated with wearing them have evolved in different countries.
