1.0 What is an engagement ring
An engagement ring is a ring that a man gives his girlfriend to confirm his intention to get married.
An engagement ring is not necessary to prove the validity of an engagement. Some people think that an engagement ring is just as essential as a wedding ring, but that's not the case. A wedding ring is necessary for a wedding, and an engagement ring is just a clear proof that both parties plan to marry.
2.0 The origin of engagement and wedding rings
A saying is that the first person in the world to use a ring as a token of engagement was the Austrian King Messmine. In 1477, Mesmine met a princess named Mary in a public event. Her beauty and graceful demeanor fascinated Mesmine. Although Messmine knew that Mary had already promised to marry a French crown prince, in order to win her love, Messmine decided to try his luck. He ordered someone to create a precious diamond ring specially for Mary. Facing the meticulously carved, sparkling diamond ring and Messmine's passionate pursuit, Mary finally changed her mind and was happily married to Messmine. Since then, it has become a tradition for Westerners to use a diamond ring as a token of engagement.
