Gifts to seal love in modern times

1 Ring

The ring played the main role of jewelry for thousands of years in China, but was not used as a symbol of marriage until a few decades ago.

In western countries, the first diamond ring used for engagement was by Archduke Maximilian of Austria in Vienna in 1477 who gave it to Mary of Burgundy.

Nowadays, people all over the world have accepted the custom of exchanging rings at wedding ceremonies.
