The gold band ring, in which alternating colored stones and diamonds were set side by side, is probably the quintessential British piece of jewelry of the years around 1900. Whether set with sapphires, rubies, emeralds or opals, at least one such ring belonged in every well-stocked jewelry box. This ring shows that this type of jewelry was also popular on the continent. It was made in Germany according to the British model. It is set with three blue sapphires and four small diamonds. The combination of gemstones was not only based on purely aesthetic criteria, but also on symbolic ones. In particular, the combination of sapphire and diamond had a romantic meaning at the time, as the blue sapphire was seen as a sign of fidelity and the diamond as a guarantee of eternity and constancy. Queen Victoria also received a brooch in this gemstone combination from Prince Albert for her wedding and wore it on her wedding dress. We discovered the ring in Munich. It is in very good condition.
