Today, a ring with a single, large diamond is considered the classic engagement ring. Here, the precious (and, according to legend, indestructible) stone stands for eternity - which is intended to emphasize the duration of the promise made with it. The New York jeweler Charles Lewis Tiffany was also important for this connection. Tiffany first sold rings with diamond solitaires held by fine prongs in his mail-order catalog in 1886 and advertised them specifically as engagement gifts. In fact, however, the tradition of seeing a diamond ring as a symbolic piece of jewelry is far older. As early as 1477, it is said, Duchess Mary of Burgundy received a diamond ring as a promise of fidelity from her future husband Maximilian of Habsburg. We are looking at a classic engagement ring. An old-cut diamond weighing approx. 0.66 ct is held in place by a total of eight platinum prongs. A simple band of warm gold allows the solitaire to be worn as a ring. The ring band tapers towards the shoulders so that the entire focus is on the precious gemstone. The ring was made in Germany around 1900 and has been beautifully preserved to this day.
