The circular shape of the ring represents the couples love and commitment. While there are no precise dates, it is said that the Egyptians were the first to utilize the idea of an engagement ring. It was usually woven from rush plants and worn on the ring finger of the left hand because it was believed that a vein in this finger went directly to the heart. During ancient Roman times, a man gave a “truth ring” to a woman as a way of claiming her for his own. The ancient Greeks also offered a “betrothal ring”. It wast until the 15th century when engagement rings as we know them today appeared, made of metal and containing precious stones.Weave 编织 eg.
