Here's a fact
First album that 2Pac adopted the gangsta image he is now known for.

I'm going to listen to that album in it's entirity now.

In 1477 the Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring. He married her the next day. Little is known of the ring tradition diamond would be very popular around the world centuries later.

Maximilian's gesture may be the first recorded diamond engagement given, but the exchange wedding rings dates back much further. The ancient Romans gave each of the other iron bands to signify marriage. Iron changed to gold in the second century. Couples in the Roman Empire were the first to place of engagement, or "ring of truth 'in the fourth finger of his left hand, believing that a vein in that finger, the "vein amoris", goes straight to the heart.

In the Middle Ages, a man would get an engagement ring suspended from the hat band, willing to give a right girl. Wedding rings began to be set with colored gemstones. Registered under 'Posy Rings', with poems or messages love, are an invention of the Middle Ages and remains popular through Victorian times. Inscriptions inside alliances persist to this day.

The choice of diamonds as a symbol of eternal devotion was generated by rich people like the Archduke Maximilian, during the Renaissance, but the only known diamond came from India and the common man had no access to that wealth. Metal ring is still popular and evolve. The Gimmel, made of interlocking rings joined by a pivot to slide together into a single, often exchanged between lovers about to separate for long periods of time. The federal, or ring of faith, was a Gimmel rings ending with in the hands together. This style is still seen in modern claddegh rings. Jewish wedding ceremonies of the period featured elaborate detail rings, often with bezels worked in the form of a synagogue or temple of Solomon.

Detailed engraving and the use of motifs such as hearts occurred during the Romantic era of the 17th century and 18. Crosses, stars, leaves and branches were all in the rich European style and showed a taste for diamonds and rubies, symbolizing eternity and love. The discovery of diamonds in Brazil increased supply in Europe and in rings that were made more available grew more elaborate, as in the lily, rosettes, bows and letters stylized. The diamonds are set in natural, approximately. In 1761 King George III presents a band of diamonds in second place as the "guard" the Queen Charlotte. This was the forerunner of our modern wedding anniversary band of the day.

The Victorian era saw the continued use of intricate gold work and increased colored gemstones such as choice of engagement rings. In 1870, a plentiful supply of diamonds was discovered in South Africa. This, coupled with the wealth generated by the Industrial Revolution, made the ultimate symbol affordable and accessible to the public, and diamonds quickly became the rage. In 1886, Tiffany introduced six-point diamond solitaire engagement ring.

In the early 1900s the 'princess ring, with four fifty-seven large diamonds a row became fashionable in the U.S. (three stone rings are still very popular today). The 1920s and 30s saw bands engraved with wedding flowers orange blossoms and wreaths. The metal chosen for engagement rings in 1900 was platinum because of its durability. However, during the Second World War the use of platinum is restricted to military purposes, and there was an increase of gold used in bridal jewelry. In the past 10 years platinum alloys have made a dramatic comeback. World War II also saw the rebirth of an old European custom where the bride and groom both receive wedding bands. This tradition continues today day. In 1947 DeBeers introduced a marketing slogan that popped diamond engagement ring to the final prominence. The slogan "A Diamond is Forever" led to a movement of diamonds is still growing 60 years later. Today it is estimated that 78% of all engagement rings with diamonds are sold.

In recent decades, engagement rings have shown incredible variety in shape, form, and determine the details surrounding the diamond ornaments. Ancients classic or modern, any election today is correct to the extent that reflects the user's personal taste and style.

The ring was a symbol of love and commitment between two people since antiquity. The tradition of diamonds, while younger, is present in many cultures, and represents the enduring, the eternal qualities of the marriage union.
