The Story of Diamond Engagement Rings
The man kneels in front of his lady. The lady is tearing up crying of joy and thrill. The man formally asks the woman’s hand in marriage and presents her a dazzling, shining, ring. The lady accepts the precious gift, kisses the gentleman, and happily says yes to the man’s request. They are now on the first step of being together forever.
Diamond engagement rings are archetypical, eternal symbols of love. It all started in the Middle Ages when the diamond was considered perfect to make official a marriage pledge. Around the 15th century, it became a standard gift for nobles on their royal weddings.
The contemporary recognition of the diamond band as a traditional gift of engagement was first known in 1475 when Constanzo Sforza gave to Camilla d’ Aragona a diamond ring with a poem that stated, “Two torches in one ring of burning fire / Two wills, Two Hearts, two passions, all bonded in marriage by a diamond.” However, the first documented proof of an engagement ring being given to a bride-to-be was from Archduke Maximilian of Hamburg who bestowed the band to his betrothed Mary of Burgundy, daughter of Charles the Bold.
During the Renaissance period, the rings became more detailed and highly decorated. Some even had special features. For example, the “gimmel,” or twin ring, had two hoops that can slide open to reveal engraved love emblems or inscriptions. The fede, or faith ring, features two clasped hands that represented the couple’s unity. The “hands” typically held a heart-shaped diamond. During the Renaissance, the rings were really big to accommodate the adornments.
After the 17th century, diamond bands began to have lighter and more straightforward designs. Then during the 18th century, diamond engagement rings became plentiful because of the discovery of new diamond pits and advancements in cutting and polishing approaches.
The diamond’s association with love became universal during the early 19th century, mainly fuelled by the romantic mood of that era and influenced by Queen Victoria and her passion for sentimental gems.
Thus, when you offer or receive of an engagement gift — whether a diamond ring, a pair of diamond earrings, a diamond bracelet, or a diamond pendant — you are definitely giving or receiving a traditional symbol of love and devotion.
