Diamonds symbolize our deepest love and honour our most lasting commitments.
The first diamond engagement ring was given by the German Emperor Maximilian I to Mary of Burgundy in the fifteenth century. Since the fourteenth century diamonds have been cut to lure light into the gem that's then reflected back out as sparkling brilliance. The polished facets on the gem act like tiny mirrors catching light and refracting it back through the centre of the stone. Diamonds are the hardest gemstone known to man and can only be cut using another diamond or diamond dust. Diamonds can be cut into the well-known round shape, pear, marquise, heart, oval, princess, emerald and baguette cut .
