For as long as we all can remember, engagement rings have always been part and parcel of a long-term relationship.

But where exactly did this tradition of giving engagement rings to one’s partner come from? In fact, when did these rings become such a widespread concept in the first place?

Engagement rings are an important item that one must have if you intend to propose to your partner after a long relationship. And whenever we hear the term “engagement ring”, we always tend to think of a band made of a precious metal with a diamond set on top of an intricate basket. While it’s understandable that this is the first image that would pop up in your mind, it’s also a common fact that diamonds aren’t your only stone choice when you’re picking an engagement ring. It’s a common choice, yes, but not your only one. If you intend to purchase or craft an engagement ring to present to your partner in the near future, it’s strongly suggested that you learn what other gemstones you can consider for an engagement ring before doing so.

While plain rings may have been the norm for quite a while, that isn’t necessarily the case nowadays.

But as we all know, those two aren’t the only metals that exist in this little blue dot that we live in and consequently, platinum and gold aren’t the only metals you can consider when buying or crafting your wedding rings.
