Engagement rings have an interesting and far-reaching history. Traditionally, a ring is given by the person proposing marriage to another. The ring symbolizes the connection and the continuous life-long love that binds two people together. Engagement rings come in all types of styles from lavish to traditional, sophisticated, and even minimalist. Most often, engagement rings feature diamonds, but nowadays, anything goes as long as it reflects the person it is being bestowed upon. Not everyone is flashy and wants a large diamond or sparkly jewels on their engagement rings. For those people with simpler tastes, minimalist engagement rings are ideal.
