In Western Europe, men in love generally select a solitaire ring as a sign of their promise of love forever. It is usually a band in platinum, gold or silver in which a single diamond is set in the centre, just as a king sitting on his throne. Even if the current trend is leaning towards customization or custom design with models that are more and more original, a diamond engagement ring remains among the top choices.
According to history, this fashion dates back to 1477 when the Archduke Maximilian of Hapsburg gave Marie of Burgundy a ring set with a diamond, a gemstone with a reputation of being very hard. Since then, a sparkling diamond preferably white or colorless has been the symbol of strong and pure love. Moreover, the word “diamond” comes from the Greek word “Adamas” which means indestructible.
