Let's begin with the most believed beginnings of the tradition of gifting with a diamond wedding ring.
The first diamonds are believed to have had their start in India almost 3,000 years ago, and were given high value. First, they were valued because of their ability to reflect light. Second, they were believed to have powers that could fend off evil spirits, and thus, they were used for protection during battles. During the dark ages, people thought that diamonds had a medical purpose to them. Many books were written on how to heal the body and wounds with diamonds. Some people would even swallow diamonds in the hope that it would cure their bodies magically.
