Diamond rings have often been exchanged as a symbol of longevity and endurance; traditionally the diamond has always been symbolic of 60 year anniversary celebrations. In 1857 Queen Victoria celebrated her diamond jubilee by launching a series of national events and public works. 2012 will be the diamond jubilee of the current queen, and celebrated through numerous public events including a pageant on the Themes which will see 1,000 boats take to the water and a network of beacons will be lit to honour this remarkable anniversary.
The Queen came to the throne on the 6th of February 1952 and was coroneted on 2nd June 1953 and she will be the only British monarch, other than Victoria, to have celebrated a diamond jubilee. Those of us old enough to remember the Queen’s silver jubilee in 1977 will have some idea of what to expect: royal pageantry, street parties and concerts at Buckingham Palace and in public parks. And, on a personal level, Prince Phillip must surly intend to present Her Majesty with a diamond ring on this historic occasion? But this diamond jubilee will embrace both traditional and progressive aspects of British life and culture: for if anything, the queen’s reign has seen phenomenal change in our way of life, science, culture and the arts. It will celebrate Britain as a nation of great tradition and the home of innovation and advancement.
But of course, the symbolism of the diamond – particularly the diamond ring – has great significance in our own lives. This eternal emblem of long-lasting and unbreakable commitment has become the focal point of wedding rings and jewellery commemorating sixty-year wedding anniversaries since the middle-ages at the very least. Those of us who are facing momentous dates in our own private histories will be considering marking the event with diamond engagement rings or some token of our loyalty and devotion for the kings and queens in our own lives.
