Among all gemstones, the sapphire in particular has been attributed a special symbolism over the centuries. In the Middle Ages, bishops wore this stone as a ring as they believed it warded off cunning and deceit and protected the wearer from envy. In his natural history of gemstones, Della storia naturale della cameo (Naples, 1730), Giacinto Gimma wrote that the color blue stands for Venus as well as for the study of celestial bodies and stars and finds its purest expression in sapphire. It is therefore hardly surprising that rings with sapphires are often reminiscent of luminous celestial bodies, cosmic phenomena and shining stars. This ring is no exception. It presents an oval sapphire of deep, dark blue within two frames of diamonds. The stones are set in platinum, which further emphasizes the bright, white glow of the diamonds. An elegant, hand-cut shadow gap between the rows of diamonds gives the large ring face additional depth. The ring is made entirely from platinum, crafted by hand and finished with the finest details. Even the lower band is ornately decorated, although it is not visible when worn - an expression of the appreciation and care of the goldsmith who crafted this ring around 1910. It is particularly noteworthy that the design lies flat on the finger despite its impressive size, which makes the ring extremely comfortable to wear. We discovered this extraordinary ring in Hamburg.
