Engagement

The Roman custom of offering an engagement ring as a guarantee of the fulfilment of the marriage contract was sanctioned by the Church and then, in the early 13th century, popularised. Medieval Italians respected the diamond as a symbol at betrothal speaking of the agreement between husband and wife.

The ideal engagement ring is a single stone diamond ring with a brilliant cut diamond. The classic design of such a ring is the so-called chaton, with a simple, clean form, with a single stone of any weight, set in a delicate basket.

The ideal diamond for an engagement is the one that best meets the expectations of the person buying it or the one to whom it is to be given. It is important to choose the right stone characteristics, contained within the criteria of the 4C rule. "The golden mean" between a stone's weight and its quality are diamonds of G-H colour (white) and Si purity (small inclusions invisible to the naked eye). In this price group, the weight of the stone is high with relatively high quality.
