Believe it or not, diamonds weren’t always the most popular stone for engagement rings. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and even pearls were often the preferred gemstones chosen to symbolize one’s love and commitment to another, especially amongst the upper classes.

Diamonds gained some popularity in the 15th century after Archduke Maximillian of Austria presented his bride with the first recorded diamond engagement ring, but rings featuring unique settings of brilliantly colored stones remained in favor. For example, Napoleon presented Josephine with an elegantly simple sapphire and diamond engagement ring while Prince Albert popped the question to the young Victoria with a serpent shaped-ring that featured a glorious emerald, the Queen’s birthstone.
