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 tradition. 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 symbolism of the diamond ring is far older: as early as 1477, Duchess Mary of Burgundy received a diamond ring as a promise of fidelity from her future husband Maximilian of Habsburg. This is a classic engagement ring: an impressive 1.25 ct diamond is cut in the so-called Old European Cut and is held by a total of eight prongs. The diamond has a delicate yellowish tint, reminiscent of champagne, through which the light refracts in a wonderfully sunny way. With wonderful brilliance, it has only small inclusions (si). A simple 14-karat gold band makes the solitaire wearable. The ring band tapers towards the shoulders so that the entire focus is on the precious gemstone. The ring was made in Vienna around 1900, as its hallmark reveals. It came to us here in Berlin and has been beautifully preserved to this day. It comes with a detailed external appraisal.
