Wedding jewelry has been a part of human culture for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, couples exchanged rings made from woven reeds to symbolize their love and commitment.

In ancient Rome, it was common for women to wear a necklace or brooch on their wedding day, often adorned with pearls, which were believed to bring good luck.

During the Middle Ages, gold became popular for wedding rings, symbolizing wealth and status.

In the 20th century, diamond engagement rings became a popular tradition in the Western world, thanks partly to a marketing campaign by the De Beers diamond company.
