How did "being engaged" begin?
Before coinage, gold rings were circulated as currency. By giving a gold ring to his Bride, a man showed he trusted her with his property. Under Roman law, the ring was a sign of security, protecting the interests of the Bride-to-be. In Elizabethan times, an interlocking set of three rings was used and worn during the engagement period by the Bride, the Groom, and the witness at the wedding. The three rings would be placed on the Bride's finger during the wedding ceremony. Diamond rings became popular in the 19th century.
