The story: the name “American wedding band”, which corresponds to a wedding band entirely set with diamonds, probably comes from the jeweler de Beers. Although South African, the latter popularized the wear of diamond wedding bands and engagement rings in the United States in the 40s, especially with the slogan “A diamond is forever”. Nevertheless, the first diamond wedding rings appeared in Europe as early as the Middle Ages.
