January 19, 2015: Valentine’s Day
is upon us, and the search for the perfect expression of your love can stop
right here with diamond jewelry from Hamilton Jewelers.
The root word of “diamond” is the Greek word
“Adamas” meaning unconquerable and indestructible. It’s no wonder then that
diamonds have been searched the world over, fought over, worshipped and
revered. The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were “splinters of stars”
fallen to the earth, and it has also been said by some that they were the
“tears of the Gods”. Can anything possibly get more romantic? This
lore of diamonds has held special allure for sovereigns over many centuries
illustrating wealth, power, love, and even magical powers.
Valentine’s
Day itself has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. The first written
valentine however, was sent from Charles, Duke of Orleans to his wife in 1415
so he could profess his undying love while he was imprisoned during war. Today, there are 141 million Valentine’s Day
cards exchanged annually, making it the second-most popular card giving holiday
after Christmas. In addition to the
United States, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United
Kingdom, France and Australia. The
earliest record of a man giving a diamond to a woman was in 1477 when the
Archduke of Austria gave a diamond to Mary of Burgundy. This
rich tradition has endured the test of time and remains the ultimate
testament of love and promise. A piece of diamond jewelry is the consummate
expression of enduring devotion.
