Antique Tourbillon Ring With Old European Cut Diamond in Platinum, Paris, c. 1930

The type of “Tourbillon” ring first appeared in jewellery during the Art Nouveau period. The term comes from French and means something like “whirlwind” – a fitting name for a ring whose shoulders curl around the central diamond like a vortex or like two protective hands holding a precious treasure. At the heart of this Tourbillon ring lies a large, old-cut diamond. It weighs approximately 1.75 carats, giving it an impressive and striking presence. The diamond is white with an elegant hint of platinum tones and, thanks to its exceptionally good symmetry for an old cut, boasts remarkable brilliance. Within the stone, a series of scattered inclusions make it truly unique. Take a close look at it under a magnifying glass: Fascinating inclusions – like pepper in a fine jelly – appear almost as if they were caught in the very whirlwind that inspired the ring’s design. You will always recognise the diamond by these details, and yet it does not appear cloudy. The ring’s shoulders sparkle with a total of twelve additional small diamonds. The entire visible surface of the platinum-crafted ring shimmers on the display side. The ring is in excellent condition, and we discovered it in Paris, where it was verifiably made after 1926. However, based on the diamond cut and craftsmanship, we do not date it much later. Due to its symbolism, the ring is also a wonderful choice as an engagement ring – an extraordinary solitaire with nearly a century of history.
