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 real treasure and almost exclusively the privilege of the nobility. It was only after rich deposits were discovered in South Africa in the late 19th century that the broader classes were able to afford diamond jewelry. With the new availability of diamonds, new traditions quickly emerged. For example, the solitaire ring as an engagement ring, i.e. the ring with a single, shining diamond. It goes back to a design by the famous jeweler Tiffany & Co. in 1886, and the subsequent marketing of this ring design as an engagement ring. To this day, this form of ring has remained the epitome of the engagement ring: It combines all the symbolism that can be expected from a piece of jewelry that is based on a promise. This ring from our workshop is part of this tradition. At its center is an old-cut diamond weighing 0.45 carats. The stone is white with very good brilliance and shows only small inclusions. Its shape reveals that it was cut at the end of the 19th century. The high-carat gold shank gives the diamond plenty of room to shine. Both the diamond and the gold of the ring have been reused here; they are reused, historical materials. The independent diamond appraisal shown here is enclosed with the ring.

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