Betrothed, betrothal, and related terms have their origin in the word “troth,” which evolved into “truth.” Besides “true,” it also means "faithfulness," so a betrothal means to pledge truth and faithfulness to another, and became a synonym for "engagement."

It's important to take care when storing your fine jewelry. Try not to let the pieces touch each other to avoid scratching. For best results, place each piece in its own pouch or box, and store them at moderate temperatures.

Where the Tiffany setting uses prongs to hold the gemstone in place on an engagement ring, a bezel setting completely or partially encircles it with the metal of choice. Because of its low profile, it serves those with active lifestyles quite well.
