Diamonds, the official birthstone of April, have been coveted for their beauty and brilliance since ancient times. Once reserved only for royalty and the noble classes, new mining, cutting, and exporting procedures developed in the 13th century allowed people of all social ranks to begin purchasing this precious gem. A few hundred years later, the tradition of using diamond solitaire rings as a symbol of engagement, which was begun by Archduke Maximilian of Austria, further cemented the gemstone’s importance in cultures all over the globe.
