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.
