Even though the tradition of solemnizing a marriage contact with a wedding ring dates back to ancient times, the rings exchanged in the ancient times were ‘plain’ when compared to their more ostentatious, dazzling and embellished counterparts in the modern times. In early roman times, the engagement ring (don’t you let your finance’ know!) was an iron hoop which was replaced by a simple gold band, a few centuries later. In those times, the engagement ring was considered a symbol of eternity, owing to its circular shape, signifying the eternal bond of marriage.

But how could such an eternal symbol of love lack embellishment for long? The discovery of diamonds in India around 800 B.C changed the ‘face’ of engagement rings forever. However, the blushing brides had to wait for at least a few hundred years before their nimble fingers could dazzle with the sheer beauty & brilliance of a diamond ring. Even then, a very few wealthy people could afford this luxury. It is believed that the first diamond engagement ring was presented to Mary of Burgundy by the Archduke Maximilian of Hamburg in 1477.

With the increase in the availability of diamonds, diamond jewelry became fashionable around the world, and thereafter started the era, that lasts to this age, of the supremacy of diamond engagement rings.
