For many women, their engagement ring is the most precious piece of jewellery they own.
The history of the engagement ring and how it came to be a tradition is interesting and there is some debate over its origins with the Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Greeks and the Romans all credited by different sources as being the earliest adopters.
