I was just watching a documentary on the DeBeers Diamond company and caught mention of something I found very interesting: The host of the show said that before the late 1940s that diamonds weren't really all that popular. That the ruby was the more popular stone, considered both rarer and more visually appealing, and it wasn't until the DeBeers "A Diamond is Forever" ad campaign in 1947, which marketed diamonds as THE symbol of love and commitment, that the diamond gained the status that it has today.
Anyone care to shed some light on this?
