History of Diamond Engagement Rings

Even back in the 15th century, people valued the importance of a diamond engagement ring. One of the first occurrences of the diamond engagement ring, also commonly referred to as a wedding ring, can be traced back to the marriage of Maximilian I to Mary of Burgundy in the year 1477. More recently, though, the use of diamond engagement rings has flourished. Showing devotion to your loved one with a diamond engagement ring is symbolic, important, and iconic. Women strongly understand this. In fact, one of the first statements a woman hears upon announcing her engagement is “Let me see the ring!” They are looking for a sign of commitment, relationship strength, and devotion.

Popularity of the Diamond Ring

The popularity of the diamond engagement ring can be traced directly to the marketing campaigns of the famous diamond company, De Beers. Jump on the bandwagon and make your engagement spectacular. Show your love, devotion, and commitment by giving your loved one a diamond engagement ring. There are countless options for ring designs. For example, you can custom-design an engagement ring using a pre-existing band and loose diamonds of your choice. You can enhance the beauty of a center diamond by adding side-stones along a wedding band.

Or, you can select a ring already designed from David & Sons extensive inventory of stunning San Diego diamonds. We will guide you every step of the way and make sure you understand the often misunderstood four C’s of diamonds. The four C’s of diamonds include the cut, carat, color, and carat. The cut of a diamond refers to the shape of the diamond. The best cut diamonds are those that have been cut by a master diamond cutter. At David & Sons, we employ only experienced master cutters. Our diamond shapes can include round, princess, emerald, radiant, oval, pear, marquise, heart, asscher, and cushion. The carat of a diamond refers to the size, or weight, of the stone. The higher the carat means the larger the diamond will be. Typically the larger a diamond is, the more valuable it is. For engagement rings, the diamond’s color generally ranges form transparent to yellow. We offer various diamonds ranging from the most transparent to the most stunning yellow. Finally, a diamond’s clarity refers to its naturally occurring imperfections, which are also referred to as inclusions. A diamond with a high clarity is one with less visible, or no visible, imperfections. These diamonds tend to be more valuable.
