SHOP LEARN The tradition of presenting a diamond ring to one's fiancee dates back at least five hundred years. The name diamond derives from the Greek word for unconquerable, making it the ideal choice to symbolize the marriage bond. Engagement rings from the early 1900s through the 1940s display a wonderful range of character and style. The early twentieth century bride to be often wore a white gold or platinum diamond ring to signify her engagement. Such rings featured delicate details such as beautifully carved hearts, leaves and flowers, and shimmering side diamonds. The center diamonds were often showcased in elaborately carved "illusion" settings. Many modern brides are rediscovering the romance and beauty of these vintage designs. They often choose to complement their engagement and wedding rings with other pieces of antique jewelry, such as filigree pendants, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Such jewelry makes a wonderful addition to the bridal trousseau--both for the wedding day and everyday.
