The History Of Wedding Bands And Engagement Rings
Executive Summary about Diamond Eternity Band by John Pollard
In 1477 the Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring. Little did he know his diamond ring tradition would be wildly popular around the globe centuries later.
Maximilian’s gesture may be the first recorded diamond given for betrothal, but the exchange of wedding rings dates back much further. Wedding rings started to be set with colored gemstones. Inscriptions inside wedding bands endure to this day.
Metal rings continued to be popular and evolve. This style is still seen in modern claddegh rings. Diamonds were even set in natural, rough form. In 1761 King George III presented a second diamond band as a ‘guard’ to Queen Charlotte. This was the predecessor of our modern day wedding anniversary band.
In 1870, a plentiful supply of diamonds was discovered in South Africa. In 1886 Tiffany introduced the six-prong diamond solitaire engagement ring.
Early in the 1900s the ‘princess ring,’ featuring three to five large diamonds in a row became fashionable in the US (three-stone rings are still quite popular today). In 1947 DeBeers introduced a marketing slogan that vaulted the diamond engagement ring into ultimate prominence. The slogan “A Diamond is forever” resulted in a diamond movement that is still growing 60 years later. Today an estimated 78% of all engagement rings sold are set with diamonds.
In recent decades engagement rings have shown incredible variety in form, shape, setting details and ornaments surrounding the diamond. The ring has been a symbol of love and commitment between two people since ancient times.
