E.F. Cushing 'Culture and Good Manners' US, 1926.
"An engagement ring is a matter for serious thought on the part of the young man. The best that his pocket can afford is what he desires and a ring that will please his fiancé's taste is even more important. Either by asking her directly or from someone who knows her preferences, he finds out her desires and tries in every way to fulfill it. The solitaire diamond as large and perfect as he could afford has for many years been the standard engagement ring."
-"The Wedding Ring" Published by R. Ackermann London, 1828
