S01E04 - Sentimental Jewels⏐Rihanna's Wedding Grillz, or the Making of a Myth
09:00||Season 1, Ep. 4Ever wondered why lovers kneel on one knee to ask, “will you marry me”?

They symbolized a legally binding commitment, reserved for the most solemn of oaths. Pretty unromantic...Things have changed quite a bit since ancient times… asking somebody’s hand is something very passionate… and today, any kind of jewel can be used for an engagement.. rings, earrings, a bracelet, watch, or a necklace... Some people prefer to embrace tradition, others like to rock the boat…...
