  Extra information
  Diamond is the birthstone for the month of April, and besides being the most popular gemstone for engagement rings, it is also the anniversary gem for the 10th and 60th years of marriage.
  
  Even though the diamond is the hardest of all gemstones known to man, it is the simplest in composition: it is common carbon. The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were splinters of stars fallen to earth. It was even said by some that they were thetears of the Gods or perhaps crystallized lightning or hardened dew drops. The exact origin of diamonds remained something of a mystery for centuries.
  
  In ancient times only kings wore diamonds as a symbol of strength, courage and invincibility. Over the centuries, the diamond acquired its unique status as the ultimate gift of love. It was said that Cupid's arrows were tipped with diamonds which have amagic that nothing else can ever quite equal.
  
  But it wasn't until 1477, when Archduke Maximillian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy, that the tradition of diamond engagement rings began. Even the reason a woman wears it on the third finger of her left hand dates back to the earlyEgyptian belief that the vena amoris (vein of love) ran directly from the heart to the top of the third finger, left hand.

• A proposito di opere artista

  Può succedere che un artista o un creatore sia sconosciuto.

  Alcune opere non sono determinate da chi sono state realizzate o sono state realizzate da (un gruppo di) artigiani. Esempi sono statue dell'antichità, mobili, specchi o firme non chiare o leggibili ma anche alcune opere non sono affatto firmate.

  Inoltre puoi trovare la seguente descrizione:

  •"Attribuito a …." A loro avviso probabilmente opera dell'artista, almeno in parte

  •“Studio di ….” o “Officina di” A loro avviso un'opera eseguita nello studio o nella bottega dell'artista, eventualmente sotto la sua supervisione

  •"Stile di..." o "Seguace di..." A loro avviso un'opera eseguita nello stile dell'artista ma non necessariamente da un allievo; può essere contemporaneo o quasi contemporaneo

  •“Modalità di…” A loro avviso un'opera nello stile dell'artista ma di epoca successiva

  •"Dopo …." A loro avviso una copia (di qualsiasi data) di un'opera dell'artista

  •“Firmato…”, “Datato…” o “Iscritto” A loro avviso l'opera è stata firmata/datata/inscritta dall'artista. L'aggiunta di un punto interrogativo indica un elemento di dubbio
