It was almost five thousand years ago in Ancient Egypt that rings upon fingers first became a sign of love, devotion and dedication. The materials chosen were carefully braided reeds or leather and the shape itself was chosen as a symbol of eternity to establish connections between two souls that would last from one world to the next. Even the choice of the fourth finger on the left hand, now so commonly attributed to the engagement ring, was supposed to be representative of the Vena Amoris, the vein of love, that it was thought travelled directly from that particular finger to the heart.
