When rich diamond deposits were discovered in South Africa in the late 1860s, the diamond solitaire soon became a common engagement ring. However, as early as the late 1880s - as we know from contemporary sources - a backlash set in and many young men preferred to give their beloved a more individual ring. Not only should this special ring match the taste and charisma of the bride-to-be, but it should also convey a symbolic message, often communicated through the choice of gemstones. The sapphire was regarded as the stone of fidelity. "The sapphire - the gemstone of autumn, blue like the autumn sky - is a symbol of truth, sincerity and constancy. Less lively than its sibling, the ruby, which stands for burning passion, the sapphire embodies unagitated and storm-tested love," wrote mineralogist George Frederick Kunz in 1913 in his cultural-historical treatise on gemstones, The Curious Lore of Precious Stones. Here, such a stone is set in a classic and elegant entourage design that surrounds the midnight blue sapphire with a flower-like wreath of diamonds in various historic cuts. Delicate platinum settings enhance the contrast and white of the diamonds. This elegant ring was created around 1900 and is still a wonderful engagement ring today.
