Since ancient times, the diamond has been a symbol of eternal love, trust, and faith. The Greeks believed that diamonds were the tears of God, or broken splinters from fallen stars. In the Middle Ages diamonds were thought to have magical powers bringing luck, fearlessness, and invincibility to those who wore them.
“Diamonds are Forever”
The first diamond engagement ring was given to Mary of Burgundy from the Archduke Maximilian of Austria. In the 1947 diamonds started to become popular in the United States, when DeBeers, a corporation that specialized in mining diamonds launched an ad campaign that featured Hollywood starts and used the now famous slogan, “A Diamond is Forever.” Diamonds are not just for engagement rings! Women love diamonds because no other gemstone can sparkle like a diamond does. Because diamonds are hardy and long lasting, the sparkle will remain and with regular cleaning the diamonds shimmer and shine forever.
Benefits of Diamonds
Did you know diamonds offer many benefits other than fashion and beauty? The diamond, known to be the hardest stone on Earth, has many astrological advantages. The ruling planet of a diamond is Venus, which is the brightest after the sun and moon. Beauty, luxury, and abundance are all ruled by Venus so it is thought that wearing a diamond will bring richness into one’s life. Diamonds can also be beneficial for your health, reducing depression and anxiety by bringing mental peace. Known to strengthen the mind of their wearers, and apart from adding sparkle to your appearance, diamonds encourage generous thoughts and eliminate the effects of evil.
