Revealed: Strange Wedding and Engagement Superstitions

Diamond’s Are a Girls Best Friend…Or Are They?

What is the deal with engagement rings, anyway? While rings have been exchanged for centuries, diamonds are not the only stone that can be used in engagement rings. Diamond stones that were set in gold and silver began to gain popularity among wealthy Venetians towards the end of the fifteenth century.

A sapphire stone used in a wedding ring is meant to ensure marital happiness. While you can use other stones than diamonds, however, you should avoid pearls. Pearls are bad luck because their shape is similar to that of a teardrop and can lead to unhappiness in a marriage.
