A long story of lovers

8 February 2019

An important event, an anniversary or a special occasion such as Valentine’s Day.
There are many occasions when a diamond makes a great gift choice, but do you know why this precious stone is the eternal symbol of love?
The incomparable beauty and uniqueness of a diamond is undeniable, even if there are hundreds of precious stones such as rubies, sapphires or emeralds which are valued for their colour. However, none of them is as bright as a diamond which is capable of reflecting and dispersing light in a glorious display of brilliance, while being almost devoid of colour.

However, the diamond encompasses a symbolism born in the mists of time, and intrinsically carries in its essence the endless value of eternity  and resistance.
Two characteristics that, for the lover who gives it, are synonymous with endless love and a relationship capable of enduring even the most difficult moments, while enjoying even more the positive ones.
Less known, but equally important, are also the meanings of passion and desire that the diamond represents, making it the preferred choice for those who want to seal their love with a promise.

Where did the tradition of the diamond ring come from?

The story is so ancient that it seems to get lost in the overlapping centuries. The custom of giving an engagement ring can be traced back to the Middle Ages as a demonstration of a sacred promise of marriage.
The first diamond engagement ring dates back to 1477 and was given to Mary of Burgundy by the Archduke Maximilian of Austria.
From that moment on, this gesture continues to represent the most unique and noblest  sentiment of them all, and it is still the best way to celebrate a love story.
We at Salvadori have always known the importance of this gesture and what a ring with a carefully selected and hand-set diamond represents.
Our mission is to guide each lover in choosing the right symbol that represents their noble and personal sentiment, always different and indescribable.

The creations of our designer Marzia Pendini are precious jewels that will not only make the person you love feel special, but will also show them just how much you love them.
