Why a Diamond?

A diamond is the ultimate symbol of commitment and love.  Why does a diamond ring on your finger mean your heart is pledged to another?  Why a ring at all, for that matter?  Although diamonds have been around for millennia the tradition of giving a diamond engagement ring dates back to 1477, when Archduke Maximillian of Austria gave one to Mary of Burgandy as a promise of marriage.  This charming royal notion was copied by nobles around the world.  Today, it is as much a part of the marriage tradition as the wedding itself.
