April is diamond month and though diamonds have different meanings, they have come to be a universal sign of love and commitment. The strength and beauty of diamonds signify undying love and commitment. The American Gem Society says of the first diamond engagement ring, “In 1477, Archduke Maximillian of Austria commissioned the very first diamond engagement ring on record for his betrothed, Mary of Burgundy. This sparked a trend for diamond rings among European aristocracy and nobility.” As diamonds became more affordable, the diamond engagement ring became a symbol of eternity for aristocrats, celebrities and the general population. However, celebrities have taken the diamond engagement ring to new levels; in Hollywood, bigger is always better, especially when it comes to gems that sparkle and shine. Josh Duhamel went big and wide when proposing to Fergie. The H. Stern design is a 4-karat brilliant cut diamond set in a wide band. Cognac diamonds form a starburst pattern around the center stone.
