The "tourbillon" ring type first appeared in jewellery during the Art Nouveau period. The term comes from the French and means something like whirlwind: a wonderfully descriptive name for a ring whose shoulders wrap around the central diamond like a whirlpool. Or like two protective hands holding a precious treasure. At the center of the whirlwind swirling here is a large old European cut diamond. It weighs around 1.15 carats and is therefore a beautiful, presentable size. It has been graded by an independent expert, its colour grade is “G“ and its symmetry, which is very good for an old cut, gives it a beautiful brilliance. It has a number of inclusions inside that make it unmistakable. Be sure to look at the stone under a magnifying glass: Some fine dark lines protrude from the edge of the stone towards the center of the diamond. They almost seem to have been caught up in the same whirlwind that gave the ring its design idea. You will always recognize the diamond by this, and yet it does not appear dark or cloudy. Further small diamonds sparkle on the ring shoulders. The entire visible surface of the ring, which is actually forged from gold, is covered in platinum so that it appears white when worn - as was the fashion around 1910. The ring is in very good condition. Due to its symbolism, the ring is also ideal as an engagement ring. An unusual yet wearable solitaire with over a century of history.
