The instant two people decide to marry is probably the most intimate and important moment of their lives, as two people become one forever. As a gift of love, Diamonds signify devotion, love, passion, commitment and an eternal bond between two people.
The History
Today, the Diamond engagement ring is the ultimate display of pure love and devotion from one person to another. However, the tradition of bestowing an engagement ring to the one you love began in 1477. Archduke Maximillian of Hamburg captured his love for Mary of Burgundy, in the first gift of an engagement ring.
At that time, diamonds were looked upon as talismans, or charms, that could enhance the love of a husband for his wife.
