Engagement rings can be traced back to ancient civilizations. The tradition of giving a ring as a symbol of serious intentions to tie the knot goes back to ancient Egypt, where couples exchanged braided reed or hemp rings. In ancient Rome, betrothal rings were often made of iron as a token of strength and permanence of the future bond.
The association between engagement rings and diamonds gained prominence much later. In the 15th century, Archduke Maximilian of Austria proposed to Mary of Burgundy with a diamond ring, sparking a trend among European nobility. From there on, diamonds have been regarded not only as symbols of wealth and power, but also of eternal love. Thanks to their exceptional durability and brilliance, diamonds became increasingly popular for engagement rings. The marketing efforts of some diamond companies further solidified the connection between diamonds and bridal traditions, emphasizing the gem’s emotional and sentimental value.
Pink diamonds, with their mesmerizing beauty and rarity, have captured the hearts of collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Pink diamonds are also profoundly symbolic with significance tied to love, romance, and femininity. Among all diamonds, only 3 percent are classified as colored, and within that category, a mere 5 percent are the coveted pink variety. However, it was the groundbreaking sale of the Williamson Pink Star at Sotheby’s, fetching an astonishing US$57.7 million, that truly sparked a deep fascination with these extraordinary pink gems. Renowned for its exceptional purity and vibrant hue, this remarkable stone captivated the world, reaffirming the enduring allure and timeless appeal of pink diamonds. With the closure of the renowned Argyle diamond mine in Australia, a primary source of these exceptional gems, the demand for pink diamonds has surged even further.
