Heartbeats: For Diamonds

From the ancient Greeks to the modern day, diamonds have been considered to be magical, powerful and potent symbols. They are also revered for their physical properties, durability, sparkle and the many legends and myths that have been attached to them through history.

Perhaps the most famous tradition for diamond rings is using them as engagement rings.

The diamond has been considered the ultimate symbol of love since 1447 when Archduke Maximillian of Austria gave Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring as a promise of marriage. However, this influential tradition can be traced back to the Middle Ages and even Roman times. The Romans valued the diamond for its supernatural powers and later Italians believed that the diamond could maintain good relations between a married couple so they recommended it as the stone to be set in wedding rings.
