Fast forward to modern times, diamonds are most commonly associated with engagement rings, preferred by up to 87% of people when it comes to engagement rings. In the United States, about 80% of engagement rings sold are featuring a diamond. Such a tradition of giving a diamond engagement ring dates back to the 15th century, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy, thereby making the diamond engagement ring a symbol of love and commitment universally. Of course, saying diamonds represent April’s birthstone, diamonds aren’t just for engagement rings and more than just a symbol of love but also power, wealth, prestige, etc. throughout history, and this played a significant role across many cultures and religions, where Malaysia is no exception. |
