Diamonds have captivated the hearts of lovers and royalty for centuries. Their unmatched brilliance, rarity, and strength make them the ultimate symbol of eternal love — but the journey of the diamond ring is steeped in tradition, cultural significance, and artistry.
Ancient Origins of a Modern Tradition
The tradition of giving a ring to symbolize a promise or union dates back to ancient Egypt, where circles were seen as symbols of eternity. Rings made from braided reeds eventually gave way to metal, and by the Roman era, betrothal rings became common.
The first known diamond engagement ring was commissioned in 1477 by Archduke Maximilian of Austria for Mary of Burgundy — a gesture that sparked a trend across European aristocracy.
A Symbol of Love and Commitment
Today, a diamond ring isn’t just a gift — it’s a personal and emotional milestone. Whether given in love, promise, or celebration, it represents endurance and clarity — values that mirror a lifelong relationship.
At Diamandor, our handcrafted rings are made with ethically sourced diamonds that reflect not just love, but also responsibility. We design each ring with intention — to be passed down, cherished, and worn as a timeless heirloom.
