The ring here is designed as a classic entourage ring, with twelve diamonds surrounding a beautiful cabochon cut dark red ruby. Such designs have long been known in jewellery history and are called entourage rings, from French "entourage" for escort, entourage. Rings in which a larger center stone is surrounded by diamonds all around were first big in fashion in the years around 1600 - and since then it is impossible to imagine the world of jewellery without them. In the second half of the 20th century, they once again became particularly popular. The Princess of Wales, for example, wears a ring of very similar design with a sapphire in the center, which Lady Diana chose as her engagement ring from the then court jeweller Garrard in 1981. The ring found its way to us here in Berlin, and was probably created in the years around 1985.

Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum. Corundum can be found in almost all colours of the rainbow, even completely colorless stones are among them. But while all these stones can also be addressed as sapphires, only the magnificently red stones of this mineral genus are rubies. Rubies have extraordinary significance in the world of jewellery. In the 19th century, its brilliant colour was often associated with love and passion: "Rubies are especially suitable for young lovers [...] In general, it is considered the emblem of the most passionate and ardent love" (Bazar. Illustrirte Damen-Zeitung, November 1886).
