White jewellery suits every season. In summer it is light and elegant, in winter it is reminiscent of snow and ice, in spring it shines like lilies of the valley or the first tulips, and in fall it glows softly against the warm red of the leaves. This ring, dating from around 1920, is entirely dedicated to the theme of white with thirteen sparkling diamonds. The old- and 8/8-cut diamonds with a total weight of around 0.14 carats form a cute blossom that evokes the memory of spring and a young love. The diamonds refract the light more gently than modern brilliant-cut diamonds, which gives this piece of jewelry its special charm. The diamonds are set in cool, shiny platinum, while the ring itself is made of high-carat yellow gold. This allows the ring to be combined in a variety of ways and looks good on many skin types. According to the hallmark, the ring was made at the goldsmiths S. Blanckensee & Son Ltd, which was based in Birmingham, the center of British jewelry making.

Not only was the small flower equated with innocence, it was also appreciated for its constancy, as it could bloom all year round. The Scottish poet James Montgomery, for example, wrote the above verses after finding a daisy in full bloom on a hike on Christmas Day in 1803.
