Originating from 1477, the diamond engagement ring is the ultimate token of love and affection. Engagement rings come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the diamond engagement ring is the traditional ring that is given. Recent fashions have started a trend in colored diamonds being used as engagement rings.
The practice of giving a diamond engagement ring as a sign of betrothal first began in 1477 when Archduke Maximillian of Austria gave one to Mary of Burgundy. Now the diamond engagement ring has become the customary token of commitment that a man gives a woman. Diamond engagement rings come in a variety of shapes and sizes. There are solitaire diamond engagement rings where one diamond is set in gold and there are other diamond engagement rings which contain many diamonds surrounding one larger one. Diamond engagement rings are also often custom made to ensure the uniqueness of the ring.
