Holiday season traditionally sparks many new engagements The holiday season i&a very special season, and extra spe­ cial to many young couples who pick that time of year to become engaged, reports the Jewelry Industry Council. Romance seems to thrive when the air is charged with the excitement and bustle of the yuletide. with its bright colored holly berries, mistle­ toe, and the soft glow of can­ dles adding to the happy ambiance. Song writers have long eulo­ gized the winter season for lov­ ers, rhapsodizing about the delights of sitting by the fire­ side, building snowmen, and bundling up for sleighrides in the snow. Small wonder that Christ­ mas is the time when many a young man picks out that spe- cial diamond engagement ring, and presents it to the woman he loves. It's probably one very good reason that it's not unusual for the youngsters to see Mommy kissing Santa Claus, as the couple recall their courting days during holiday seasons past. Actually, the history of the tradition of the diamond en­ gagement ring dates back only about 500 years, to 1477. when Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy to pledge his troth. At any rate. Max started a custom that young men are following to this day -- to the delight of every woman who has her beloved slip that spe­ cial diamond on her finger, says the Council.
