ed one of the first lovely engagement
rings. It was given to her by, Max-
imilian 1 of Germany and wa.s, a
handsome pieoe witth a letter "M" set
in black diamonds.
Henry VI bestowed on his bride,
.Margaret of Anjou, a most unusual
eolten. He gave orders to the Keep-
er of the Jewels to make it from
a ryng of gold, garnished with
a Martin• fa
11Luther gave Catharine von
Bora, his bride, iai June, 1525, a dia-
mond.. and ruby ring designed by his
famous artist conteniporary Lucas
Cranach.
How It Started.
The idea back of the engagement
ring in those early times was to give
to ene's betrothed a, substitute for
her knight's" signet which would be-
come hers later. The ring wasthe
announcement to the world that the
lady's knight would fight for her atid
defend her Tife; and during the cere-
mony the ring was presented to the
lady on the tip of .the knight's shin-
ing sword. .•
Now, a •diarnotid" selitaire on the
girl's fourth finger is, a flash to the
world that she is betitothed.
But today's bride thinks of many
practical things. too, when selecting
liter diamond; its cut, for instance.
Anti diamonds can be cut in a variety
of shapereaein step cut, baguette, cab-
ochon, triangle. • pentagon, trapeze,
keystone, lozenge, "epaulette," and
Many others.
The felicitous choice Is that of a
diamond harmonizing with the shape
of the wearer's hand, Thus, for a
I 11 " nd marquise (boat -shaped)
Had Cleopatra, received a diamond
a.s her .pledge gift, the reap of the
world might have been .changedt. But
diairaonde were not in vogue then, for
the art of diamend-cuttring was not
discovered Until much later. It ()oak
experienced lapida.ries, tenturies to
find out that 'only a diamond would
cut a diamond to a paragon of a:aus-
tere-my and purity.
The euetcan of giving an engage-
ment ring dates back to 'an,eient
Greece, but gametic] pledge rings In
Europe did not. became popular Until
the Middle Ages. Mary ef Burgundy,
clangitter of Oherlee the nom, reel
C ha a
diamond, Is "best, for it ,makes the
fingers an.d had appear longer. An
athletic hand will take a" eimple em-
erald -cut diamond (a Square with the
corners clipped). A beillient (round
diamond with 58 facets) is best for
a flawless hand—long and patrician.
Yet in spite of the variety of mite of-
fered by modern lapidaides, today'a
bride often chooses the deep glow of
the antique rose -cut diamonde, senti-
mentel reminders of billowy 011110-
1i -tees, tune and gleaming white shOul-
clete.
• But it Is not only the she pe thee,
matters. The color of the diamond
enters into the clue:dial:1 .of eitelee.
Withia the last thirty years Colored
diamonds have etet-ung into import-
- mice. There ase follow, "oamary,•'
• ,
diamonds; green diamonds; deep
brown ones; "black" diaraande; pink
diamonds; blue diam-onda:
Nor is the setting of the diamon4d
to be forgotten. In ancient Rome ir-
on rings were favored--oircles ham-
mered tram the tip of the Centurion's
sword. Later bronze, silver, and gold
became the metals use.d.
As to shape, down through, the ag-
es, an engagement ring has changed
with the wearer's fancy. There were
"puzzle rings" (17th century) ean.sist-
ing of several hoops cannily put to-
gether to form a whole; gem -studded
bands; "gime:tat" rings —tacky ones
that opened to disclose a "device" or
"poesy" engraved for the benefit of
one's 'beloved. There were .ring e set
with a pointed diamond, designed for
Court ladies fond of wilting poetry
orf glass windows. •
