Your Diamond Experience with K.Norris Jewelers
For centuries, diamonds have been talismans of magic, passion and success. These fascinating stones hold inside a promise of eternity and years in the making: a deep romantic mystery lies within the heart of every stone.
Once regarded as the “Tears of the Gods,” diamonds were thought to hold mysterious qualities and possess supernatural powers. Many myths and legends surround diamonds. They have given rise to countless tales of heroic deeds and legends, of knightly valor and of enchanting magic.
It is said that Cupid’s arrows were diamond tipped to provide them with their emotional power. The first engagement ring is believed to have been offered in the fifteenth century by the Archduke Maximilian of Austria. He presented a solitaire diamond when he asked for the hand of Marie de Bourgogne in marriage. Whatever the origin, the single-stone tradition has endured and flourished. Richard Burton offered one of the biggest and most famous of diamonds to Elizabeth Taylor in 1969. The 69.42-carat “Taylor-Burton” is in the shape of a pear, and magazines all over the world ran with the story. Many such famous legends of love, from yesterday and today, are bound closely to the beauty of the diamond.
