What a Gem!
The diamond ring and rings in general date back several centuries, although those given as a token of love began in the second century BC, as told by Plautus a Roman poet of that era. The knowledge of the diamond gem and the origin of its many uses such as diamond rings starts in India, where mining for diamonds began.
The fact that
diamond rings and wedding rings were first exchanged in the second
century BC is known because of the inscriptions on the interior of
those found and because of the notation on marriage contracts
discovered. These contracts were always signed in the presence of the
image of the Emperor.
