Why do engagement rings exist? And why do engagement rings have diamonds? It seems, betrothal rings are a lot older than diamond engagement rings. Earlier than the late nineteenth century, diamond engagement rings have been unusual, though royals generally exchanged diamond rings. #EngagementRing #marriage #WeirdHistory

Um Victoria as a Queen Regnant had to do the proposing – there was no way he could do the proposing …..

He’s your guy when stocks are high, but beware when they start to descend. It’s then that those louses go back to their spouses. Diamonds are a girls best friend!

Millennial here. Been married five years. Have never owned a diamond ring and don’t really have a desire to ever own one. My current ring cost $20 and has a beautiful little rose on it. Not a single gem.

Since marriage is (and always has been) a contractual relationship, it makes sense that people should be able to show their contractual status.

I thought It was a pretty simple symbol to understand. The engagement ring was to let others know that the man or woman was already taken and off the market to potenial suiters. It’s also a symbol of ones commitment to their spouse.

I ended up choosing a moissanite for my engagement ring! I wanted the look of a large stone and there was no way we were paying the diamond price tag for that. I eventually do want a salt and pepper diamond ring because I do love the inclusions on the “imperfect” diamonds, and possibly an included sapphire ring or band as well

If I were to ever marry again, I’d insist on a lab made diamond, or my birthstone of peridot. Diamonds are over priced and have bad karma attached to them.

Maybe I have a messed up humor but I could see myself or partner proposing with a ring pop and going shopping together to find engagement rings. I dosen’t have to be over the top shiny and pretty I just want it to be durable and last while staying a simple design.

Diamonds are a status symbol. That’s why people buy them as far as I’m concerned. They show wealth or effort or act as a modern day male dowry for a woman lol.
Looks-wise they are not that special?? There are so many lab gems these days which are extremely sparkly for a fraction of the cost. Also what is wrong with wanting some color? There are so many stones I can think of which have more special and beautiful properties. Opal, moon stone, labradorite etc.

Queen Victoria proposed to Albert not Albert to Victoria. Because she was already crowned as Queen she had to propose. Also the history of diamonds in South Africa in your video is not correct, the young boy Erasmus (whose entire name was pronounced incorrectly in this video) found a diamond on his family’s farm thinking it was a crystal as he collected stones. His sister liked it and he gave it to her as a toy to play with. The family had the stone for a while before a British visitor to the farm saw the stone and advised the family that he thinks the stone might be a diamond. He asked the family permission to take to stone back with him to Brittian to get it verified, but he only collected the stone on his way back from his intended destination. Once he confirmed to family that the stone was indeed a diamond there was no rush to the farm to mine diamonds as the farm was privately owned and uninvited trespassers would have been seen as a threat and most likely shot because during the 1800’s South African was a very dangerous place – not that much has changed now. In fact the family refused several offers, some from the UK to buy the farm but this did not happen until more diamonds were found on the farm over the next couple of years, because finding 1 diamond on a farm does not mean there is a huge deposit of diamonds in the groud. The diamond rush only happened later in areas where larger amounts of diamonds were discovered lying around in those areas. Thank you for mentioning South African diamonds but I am wondering why the narrator kept referring to South African diamonds as if they are inferior and thus effected the diamond market in a negative way. I am aware that an influx of diamonds in the market makes the value of diamonds drop because there are so many diamonds available, but it was not because South Africa diamonds are inferior. We have some of the highest prized diamonds in the world; even Queen Elizabeth has a large a South African diamond as the centre piece of her crown.

Well, my mother told me to make sure and get a very good engagement ring, because it’s the best thing you’ll ever get from that point on from him. Rest peacefully, mom.

I read that a man was going to sell diamonds at a cheaper price and DEBEERS told him that if he sold cheaper diamonds that others might sell at a cheaper price they told him it would make all the diamonds in the industry less valuable. And that they would flood the market with cheaper diamonds and. I think they told him they controlled the the diamond market and he couldn’t get the diamonds. Because they are all about the money. Like everything else.

I enjoy your casual tongue and cheek humor, it’s a bit off the cuff and you have to know a thing or two to get it. Well done.

my fiance bought me a dark blue sapphire engagement ring and i love it so much more than any diamond that you always see on everyone else’s hands
