The custom of presenting a diamond ring as an engagement gift has been documented since the late Middle Ages. However, this hardest of all gemstones was a distinct treasure and almost the exclusive privilege of the nobility. It was only after the discovery of rich deposits in South Africa in the late 19th century that broader classes were able to afford diamond jewellery. The classic solitaire ring, i.e. a ring with only one diamond, is said to date back to a design by the famous jeweller Tiffany & Co. in 1886. To this day, this form of ring has remained the epitome of the engagement ring: In it bundles all the symbolism that can be expected from a piece of jewellery, which is based on a promise. The present piece, which was created here in Berlin on our commission, is just such a solitaire ring. In its center it presents an unusual brilliant cut diamond weighing 0.938 carats. The yellow gold ring band and setting support the brilliance of the "K" colour grade diamond with many distinct inclusions that attest to its authenticity and give the diamond an individual character. Both the diamond and the gold of the ring are used here in second use, they are reused, historical materials.

The symbolic act of giving a diamond ring as an engagement gift is first documented in 1477 and can be traced back to Mary of Burgundy, who received a diamond ring as a promise of fidelity from her later husband, Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg. Wearing a ring as a sign of commitment on the third finger of the left hand, on the other hand, was already the custom of the ancient Egyptians, who believed that the "love vein" connected the heart to the left ring finger.
