"During recent years the diamond solitaire has been the conventional engagement ring, and with worthy reason, for the diamond is the emblem of fidelity", it was said in the mid-1890s. Although a variety of different designs were prized as engagement rings at the time, the diamond solitaire was unsurpassed at the top of the most sought-after rings - and remains so to this day. The present ring was created in Germany around the mid-1890s, as its design, craftsmanship details and the hallmark inside the ring band tell us. The diamond cut also speaks for this early origin: the solitaire of around 0.66 carats is already clearly approaching the perfect, round shape, but still has slightly cushion-shaped, individual proportions. It sparkles brilliantly in a warm hue that harmonizes wonderfully with the reddish tone of the gold. The ring is in excellent condition. We were able to discover it in Hamburg. Today, as it was 130 years ago, it is the perfect engagement ring - a timeless piece of jewelry full of history and symbolic power. The quote comes from A. L. Craig: Engagement Rings, The Sidney Mail, April 4, 1896, p. 714 (first published in the N.Y. Home Journal).
