Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend
February 6, 2013
Diamonds have been treasured gemstones since they were first discovered in India back in the 4th century BC where they were used in religious rituals. Diamonds were valued because of their strength, brilliance and ability to refract light long before Marilyn Monroe extolled their many virtues in song for women everywhere.
The use of rings as a symbol of commitment dates back to ancient times and the first recorded presentation of a diamond engagement ring happened in 1477 when Archduke Maximilian of Austria proposed marriage to Mary of Burgundy. The perfect gift for that special lady on Valentine’s Day, diamonds are the eternal symbols of love, commitment and lustrous beauty and elegance.
So give the gift that will last a lifetime; the gift of a diamond that says ‘I love you’ like nothing else on the face of the earth.
