The lineage of the heart-shaped diamond stretches back over half a millennium! Its inaugural mention is attributed to Francesco Sforza, the Duke of Milan, in 1463, during an intriguing conversation. In this exchange, the Duke analogized the legendary exploits of the affluent “Cosimo de Medici” from the political dynasty in Florence to the allure of a heart-shaped diamond. If we entertain the veracity of this dialogue, it suggests that heart-shaped diamonds were fashioned prior to the 15th century and gained renown as emblems of regal status.
Following closely, in 1562, Mary Queen of Scots gifted to Queen Elizabeth a magnificent ring embellished with a heart-shaped diamond. This illustrious gem ranks among the most celebrated diamond hearts in history, imbued with connotations of camaraderie and benevolence during its era.
