Myth & Meaning
Mined diamonds have accumulated centuries of cultural meaning as symbols of betrothal, royal power, industrial achievement, and personal milestone. This association derives from their natural origin and long history as the world's most coveted gemstone, which no manufactured equivalent inherits.
