Austria's Archduke Maximilian presented the first diamond engagement ring on record to his betrothed, Mary of Burgundy, in 1477. The ring was placed on the third finger of her left hand, based on an ancient Egyptian belief that this finger contained a "love vein" that ran directly to the heart. And we've been celebrating our eternal love and commitment to one another in much the same way ever since.

Yellow gold is by far the most common type of gold used in diamond jewellery. 24-carat gold is this metal in its purest form. It is seldom used in making diamond jewellery as it lacks the high polished look and durability that we expect from our diamond jewellery. Various alloys are added to the pure gold to create different beautiful shades. The carat system used by jewellers refers to the quantity of pure gold in the mixture. For example, 18-carat gold is 18 parts pure gold to 6 parts alloy and 9-carat gold is 9 parts pure gold to 15 parts alloy. Yellow gold used for diamond jewellery is usually alloyed with copper and silver to strengthen it, and how yellow a piece is will depend on its gold content. Our fabulous collection of Antwerp Diamond Company yellow gold diamond rings are set in 18ct yellow gold. |
