A jewel that brides wore on their ring finger, through which the vena amoris passed, which connected directly to the heart.

This jewel not only has a cultural weight, but also an emotional one, something demonstrated by a study carried out by the jewelry firm Tiffany & Co. and which concludes that A woman looks at her engagement ring about a million times throughout her life.. Perhaps that is why looking for a unique and special piece has become the challenge of many brides and grooms and if there are some that inspire and will always inspire, they are the ones from the royals.
