In aged India, diamonds were not cut for fear that they would lose its magical properties. during the Middle Ages, it was believed that diamonds would grow darker in the face of guilt and shine brightly for the innocent. an additional one trust is that in the presence of poison, solitaire would also turn color. The rainbow colors of the prism were plan to give one magical power over Evil Eyes.
According to occultist myths, it was believed that diamonds possess several supernatural powers, e.g. a diamond's hardiness can only be broken by smearing it with fresh goat's blood. Or a solitaire gives victory to he who carries it bound on his left arm, no matter the estimate of enemies.
It was also believed to have been used as a healing stone. Such as a way of detecting and detoxifying poison, opening spirituality channels and assisting calming creatures.
Today, diamonds are used to symbolize eternity and love. The first solitaire engagement ring can be traced to the Xv century, when the Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave the first solitaire ring engagement to Mary of Burgundy in 1477. At that time, the solitaire was used in its natural crystalline structure. The octahedral or eight-sided formation, like 2 pyramid joined at the base, was mounted with the lower pyramid completely hidden in the ring setting and the upper half rising out of it. Light would be reflected from all four sides of this exposed upper point. The structure of this solitaire mirrors the symbolism of the Egyptian pyramids. The union in 1477 was preponderant by the transfer of a solitaire betrothal ring which would have been an early example and perhaps the first royal one.
Other early example of betrothal jewels incorporating diamonds consist of the Bridal Crown of Blanche (ca. 1370-80) and the Heftlein brooch of Vienna (ca. 1430-40), a pictorial piece depicting a wedding couple. In the 19th century, Napoleon gave his wife Marie Louise an exquisite solitaire necklace on the birth of their son. perhaps the most published romantic solitaire gifts in contemporary times have been the jewels given by Richard Burton to Elizabeth Taylor. These consist of a 33 carat solitaire worth over million and the pear-shaped 69 carat Taylor-Burton diamond.
