The Engagement Ring: A Love Story (2h30)

About the Course
Although the engagement ring became distinct from a wedding ring in the 15th century in Europe, the tradition of marriage dates back to Antiquity, providing an occasion to offer jewels as romantic as they were sumptuous.
Today, a universal symbol of amorous commitment, the engagement ring experienced several transformations throughout the centuries, even before being set with the most gorgeous of diamonds.
Explore the history of the engagement ring and discover the surprising world of gems and all the know-how surrounding the creation of a jewel.
