Diamond Rings -Why Do We Give Diamond Engagement Rings?</h1>

A diamond is considered to be the purest form of jewels. Owning a diamond hence becomes one of the most prestigious possessions for an individual, and this is what makes diamonds as costly as they are and enables people to own them and consider it to add to their assets and to their prestige. One gift diamonds to one’s loved ones rather than buying it for oneself. Diamonds are also considered as one of the best gifts to be given to your spouses and close ones.</div>

A phenomenon suggests that a lot of people think we buy diamonds for engagement rings because of the advertisements that surround them. Some people also believe that the roots of this idea are the advertising campaigns driving the need of a diamond in the engagement ring as showcased in the 1939 ad campaign by De Beers.</div>

In case of engagement rings advertisers just came along with the flow, long after the diamond had already cemented its place in the engagement rings. The real theory behind the use of diamonds in engagement rings is much more engrossing.</div>

The reason finds its roots in the history and its economic idiosyncrasies:</div>

For the longest time in the American history, if a man spent a night with a woman, he was legally obligated to wed her. In one of the political acts, the shotgun wedding laws were abolished in the Progressive Era. As love marriage took centre stage, the wedding laws were considered old- fashioned and out-dated. The abolishment of these laws was very easy process; there was not much protest among the general public as a majority was in favor of the decision of the court. And now, as all the other rules were abolished under the name of love, men used an engagement ring as a ‘pledge’. The new rule was that, if a man provided collateral to signify his love. It added to the baseline of the love, as the word of the man was not considered enough. This is where it idea of an engagement ring came into being and has been used largely since then. Even though the actual reason of using diamonds in engagement rings is a little somber, diamonds are still considered as the purest form of jewels.</div>

They contain either very little or no nitrogen atoms in the crystal structure.They are usually colorless and are lacking of any measurable impurities.

Originally weighing 793 carats and once the largest known diamond in the world, its size has been reduced to 105.6 carat after many cutting and polishing. Koh-i-Noor diamond passed several hands through dynasties, rulers and invasions and eventually landed up as a British Crown Jewel.

The IF, D grade is the largest DIF diamond ever graded at GIA. Recovered in India’s Golconda mines, the Archduke Joseph diamond’s first recorded owner was Austria’s Archduke Joseph August who had deposited the diamond in a Hungarian bank vault in 1933.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /> <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Similarly, there are many other famous Type IIa diamonds including The Star of the South, Winston legacy, The Agra, Darya-i-Noor, Beau Sancy and so on. Type IIa diamonds are either way very rare and declining production of Earth-mined diamonds make them even rarer.</strong></div>

Most diamonds vary in different shade from colorless to yellow, brown, or gray. To decide the color grade, all diamonds are compared to an internationally accepted master set of diamonds, the color of which ranges from D, or colorless(most desirable) to Z, (the least desirable).</strong><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Work Sans"; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">The color of diamonds, except for fancy color diamonds, are graded based on the absence of color in the diamond. Colorless diamonds are clear and contain no traces of color (e.g. yellow or brown).Diamond color is graded on a scale of D to Z. D, E, and F diamonds are considered the rarest, as they are virtually colorless whereas diamonds in the G and H color range are near colorless Diamonds in the I to J color range offer the best value for money, as they are about 10% cheaper than diamonds in the G to H range but still appear colorless to the naked eye.</strong><br />

A jeweler may describe the weight of a diamond below one carat by its ‘points’ alone.Similarly, diamond of the same size and carat weight may not hold the same value, because one may have better clarity or color.

<b style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">The color of diamonds, except for fancy color diamonds, are graded based on the absence of color in the diamond. Colorless diamonds are clear and contain no traces of color (e.g. yellow or brown).Diamond color is graded on a scale of D to Z. D, E, and F diamonds are considered the rarest, as they are virtually colorless whereas diamonds in the G and H color range are near colorless Diamonds in the I to J color range offer the best value for money, as they are about 10% cheaper than diamonds in the G to H range but still appear colorless to the naked eye.</span></b></div>
