Diamond Rings are the combination of two very separate jewellery pieces that have over time merged together in a single item. But just what exactly do these items convey with each other and what do they combined when they are combined together.
Rings have a long history to their origins and have been used by just about every culture across the entire world. In some societies it had the characteristics of esteem, liberality and friendship. Status was also another important aspect that was conveyed by adorning a ring. For example in the Persian Kingdom all men were forbidden from wearing rings except those bestowed upon them by the king.
Rings were also used to show membership of groups and orders that were exclusive by nature. Membership would be proven by the possession or adornment of a signet ring. Such rings could also be used as a stamp that would be used by high ranking officials to officiate their letters and other communications.
The other most prominent use of a ring is a sign of marriage. A set of rings would be worn before the wedding itself in what it still known as an engagement and then once again during the wedding.
Diamonds on the other hand have not been in use as long as rings have due to their relative rarity and the technology required find and fashion them. Generally however they have been identified as symbols of wealth and affluence. Ownership of a diamond is definitely a fairly costly affair and just about anyone knows this.
Combining these two items in to a single piece of jewellery creates the ultimate jewellery in terms of a symbol of wealth and as a status symbol. Though in the modern day sense there is a definite bias in terms of diamond rings being mostly for women.
