A Dazzling History: Myths About Diamonds

Everybody knows that giving a diamonds is an especially significant thing. But where did this custom originate? Diamonds have held meaning for many cultures for thousands of years.

We will never know where the first diamond was discovered, but we do know that many traditional cultures included diamonds in their rituals. The Greeks and the Romans thought the diamonds were tears of Gods and little pieces of stars. Even Plato wrote about diamonds, describing them as living creatures, impersonating divine spirits. There were also the Hindus, who thought diamonds had so much power that they put diamonds in the eyes of some of their statues. Folks thought that there was a valley in Central Far East Asia covered by diamonds. One yarn spinner said this valley was "kept by birds of prey and guarded by snakes of mortal stare." Besides believing that diamonds could attract luck and success, people also thought that they could defy the astrological events. Many used them as jewels, supposing they'd be enlarging their power and capacity to draw in love. Up till the fifteenth century, only kings were permitted to use diamonds, using them as a outline of bravery, power and invincibility. The diamond is the hardest rock known by men, and was employed in battles as a symbol of bravado.

While we all know that diamonds aren't tears from the gods, we do know that there's a certain sorcery that comes with these dear gems. The brilliance of their glint and the strength of their indestructibility call out to us. It's no ask why as the centuries passed by, the diamond started to obtain its standing of sublime evidence of love. Diamonds are thought of as the most concrete way to show total attention to a family member. Some traditional cultures even believed that diamonds could fix a wrecked marriage!

With a history stuffed with such superstition, sorcery, and meaning, diamond jewelry is the height of gifts. Whether or not it is for a birthday, anniversary, suggestion, or simply because you care, you can show the one you love that they deserve to flicker as brilliantly as the stars.
