Extra information: engagement ring - Especially in Western cultures, an engagement ring is a ring indicating the that the person wearing it is engaged to be married. In the United Kingdom, and North America, engagement rings are traditionally worn only by women, and rings can featuregemstones. In other cultures men and women usually wear matching rings, which can be plain. In some cultures, engagement rings are also used as wedding rings.
Conventionally, the woman's ring is presented as a betrothal gift by a man to his prospective spouse while he proposes marriage or directly after she accepts his marriage proposal. It represents a formal agreement to future marriage. Rings can be boughtby the man, the couple together, or by each partner for the other.
In North America and the United Kingdom, it is worn on the left hand ring finger, while in Poland and Ukraine, it is customary for the ring to be worn on the right hand. In Germany, the ring is worn on the left hand while engaged, but moved to the righthand when married. Similar traditions purportedly date to classical times, dating back from an early usage reportedly referring to the fourth finger of the left hand as containing the vena amoris or "vein of love".
Betrothal rings were used during Roman times, but weren't generally revived in the Western world until the 13th century. The first well-documented use of a diamond ring to signify engagement was by the Archduke Maximilian of Austria in imperial court ofVienna in 1477, upon his betrothal to Mary of Burgundy.
In the 20th century, if he could afford it, the typical Western groom privately selected and purchased an engagement ring, which he then presented to his desired bride when he proposed marriage. More recently, couples frequently select an engagement ring together. (from Wikipedia)
Kutchinsky - The Kutchinsky jewelry store was established in London in 1890. The Kutchinsky's came from Poland where they had been jewelers for centuries (they were also jewelers to the Court of Ludwig of Bavaria). After World War II, Kutchinsky pioneered with the use of platinum in fine jewelry and their jewelers shop in Commercial Road soon became known to lovers of fine jewelry. Then, in the late Fifties, they moved their business to London's Knightsbridge (where you still can find a Kutchinsky store althoughit's taken over by Moussaieff - another illustrious name in the world of high quality jewelry). Kutchinsky is still known for its high quality jewelry and use of precious stones.
