EPL 90th Anniversary DiamondFest History Booklet - Single Pa

WHY THE DIAMOND AS A SYMBOL OF OUR 90 YEARS? The diamond is traditionally used as a symbol for 90 years, especially in the context of anniversaries (like wedding anniversaries or institutional milestones), because of its associations with: 1. Strength and Endurance Diamonds are one of the hardest natural substances on Earth. They represent resilience, durability, and unbreakable bonds — all fitting symbols for a relationship, organization, or achievement that has lasted 90 years. 2. Rarity and Value Reaching 90 years is a rare and significant milestone. Diamonds symbolize exceptional value and uniqueness, much like a 90-year journey. 3. Tradition Anniversary symbolism has long used materials to represent the years (e.g., silver for 25, gold for 50). By the time you reach 90 years, the materials chosen reflect the highest honors — diamond being the pinnacle. 4. Cultural Meaning Diamonds are associated with clarity, wisdom, and timeless beauty. After 90 years, these qualities are often celebrated, whether it’s a marriage, a company, or a monarch (as with Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee marking 60 years — another major diamond-linked milestone).
