Even if you are not educated in what to look for in diamonds, every little 
girl loves the sparkle and elegance that diamonds cast. As little kids, most girls will pretent to be a princess draped in diamonds and jewels. Diamonds are the supreme jewel. Once you read up on the things that made a diamond so extraordinary, though, you will love them even more. Although there are similar-looking stones available now, nothing comes close to a diamond wedding ring. The superiority of a diamond can’t be matched by the CZ’s or crystals on the market today.
Diamond wedding rings are offered as a gift because diamonds really are forever. The stone itself is one of the hardest minerals on earth. The symbolism of this with a wedding equates to a marriage being able to withstand anything. Did you know that to see if a diamond is real, some people will use it to cut glass? A diamond will not break, and yet in spite of its durability it is a thing of beauty. When being offered a proposal, you dream of a stone that will match the longevity of the marriage.
Why present a diamond wedding ring and not a diamond or earings? This reason is twofold. First, the ring shape represents eternity, a continuing cycle. When you make a marriage pledge, that is what you are promising to your beloved. This in itself makes the ring important, but in addition to that is the finger it is worn on. This tradition goes very far back to Egyptian beliefs that the ring finger is the closest to the heart. By wearing your diamond wedding ring on your left ring finger, you wedding vows are connected to your heart.
