The Magic of Diamond Rings by Jonathon Blocker
What is it about diamond rings that so compel us? Is it the shine and lustre - that which jewelers refer to as "fire"? Is it the mystery and allure of precious gems and metals that is found in white gold diamond rings? Is it the sheer hardness and durability of diamond rings?
When it comes to the precious stone that is the centerpiece of diamond engagement rings and men's diamond rings, it is all of the above. Although diamonds have long been treasured for their hardness and rarity, they were not always beautiful to look at. It took centuries of study, experimentation and trial and error before stonecutters learned to create the exotic cuts such as that found in the gems mounted in princess diamond rings that diamonds began to take on the characteristics for which they are so treasured today.
A Diamond...or a Lump of Coal?
The story of diamond rings starts hundreds of millions of years ago and miles beneath the earth's surface. You are probably aware of the fact that petroleum and coal is formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived and died over half a billion years ago. These remains went under the earth over time, where they were subjected to preternatural geologic forces, which transformed them from organic matter into oil and coal.
The precious stones that are set in diamond engagement rings are formed the same way. The difference between a lump of coal and a diamond is one of degree - the geologic forces of heat and pressure that transforms organic carbon into gems that wind up as part of mens diamond rings are thousands of times greater. In fact, it is possible to turn coal into diamond, which is essentially what happens when artificial, industrial-grade diamonds are manufactured in a laboratory. (Theoretically, it is also possible for diamonds to turn back into coal, were they subjected to hard vacuum under a complex set of highly unlikely circumstances.)
Early Diamond Rings
Diamond jewelry had been around for awhile, but diamond engagement rings and wedding rings were pretty well unheard of before 1477, when Archduke Maximilian I of Austria presented one to Marie of Burgundy on the occasion of their wedding.
The concept of diamond engagement rings for the masses came along much later.
Today, the tradition is found almost everywhere in the Western world. Diamond rings can now be purchased as a stock item and can also be custom made.
