SYMBOL OF LOVE
We can't think of many symbols of love and commitment quite as powerful, potent or perfect as that of the engagement ring. For several thousand years, rings of varying materials and styles have been exchanged between those who have pledged their lives to one another, and who are set to join together in matrimony.
LONG LASTING HERITAGE
How old is the practice of presenting your beloved with an engagement ring? About as old as civilization itself, it seems. While the true origins of the exchange of an engagement ring (or any ring designated as a symbol of prospective marriage) are lost in the mists of time, historians are in agreement when it comes to some facts regarding their ancient history. The Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all adhered to the tradition of exchanging engagement rings, and curiously, they also all followed the continuing tradition of using the third finger of the left hand for these rings. The belief was that this finger contains a direct link to the heart, and as such connects the ring to the center of the wearer's soul. While the use of a ring to symbolize engagement, commitment and never-ending love has never faltered, that isn’t to say the styles of rings and the stones used to decorate them haven’t changed over time, and evolved with the eras.

CARING FOR YOUR BLACK DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING
We want every member of the Braverman family to be completely happy with their purchases, which are designed to not only last a lifetime, but also to be passed down to your children and children's children as an heirloom. In order to allow this to happen, and for you to get the best impact and most pleasure from your black diamond engagement ring, it's highly important to take care of and clean your ring regularly. We always urge our customers to use a mild dish soap and a soft brush to remove any collected dust which may gather on their engagement ring, and to be careful when taking the ring off, as some people tend to pull on the gemstone - something which can end up loosening the setting over time.
It's also highly important to be mindful of your black diamond engagement ring throughout the day, and when undertaking simple tasks such as washing your hands, or doing household chores - many people leave their ring on the side of the sink, only to look on in horror as it slips off the rim and disappears down the plughole! Make the most of your beautiful display box, or choose a special place to put your ring when you are working with cleaning products or doing manual tasks, in order to keep it safe and sound.
