The first diamond engagement ring was commisoned in 1477 by Archduke Maximillian of Austria to show his love for Mary of Burgundy. Inspired by this historic gesture, European nobility and jewellers alike sought to capture the essence of love through intricate designs, such as the 'M' shape formed by thin slices of diamonds in Mary's ring. Diamonds symbolise everlasting devotion and romance.
