| The tradition of proposing with engagement rings started in 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave the first diamond engagement ring to Mary of Burgundy. Now engagement rings have become a common practice. Over 250 tons of ore is mined before a single 1 carat jewelry-quality diamond is unearthed. Engagement rings are traditionally given to a woman when a man proposes. It is a once in a lifetime event that is celebrated with a diamond ring.
