Diamond rings are today considered to be a token of love, particularly when given to one by a suitor. The tradition of diamond rings being used for engagements is believed to have begun when Austria's Archduke Maximilian made a gift of a diamond ring upon his engagement to Mary of Burgundy.

The wearing of a diamond ring on the ring finger, or fourth finger of the left hand, is derived from the ancient Egyptians. This is due to their belief that the vein that extends from this particular finger to the heart is also the 'vein of love'. This tradition is still practiced today, much like the giving of a diamond ring as a symbol of engagement and true love.
