Vintage Half-Memory Ring with Seven Diamonds in Gold, c. 1980s

Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

Memory rings are set with gemstones of the same type. The name can be explained by the fact that each individual gemstone is intended to stand for a certain beautiful experience of the owner, which is thus kept alive in the memory. Memory rings are also often used as engagement or wedding rings. In this case, the alternative term "eternity ring" is also commonly used. This ring is a half-memory ring, i.e. a ring in which only one half of the ring is set with diamonds. A sparkling row of seven radiant diamonds in first-class color forms the luxurious setting. The sparkling white stones are arranged across the finger in closed frames. They are fine white diamonds (top Wesselton / G) with a total weight of 0.50 carats. The ring is handcrafted and designed to withstand everyday wear. Its powerful design in warm, shiny yellow gold takes us back to the 1980s. It was probably created in Germany, but we discovered it here in Berlin.

The term "Top Wesselton" was introduced in reference to a diamond mine called Wesselton, in which a particularly large number of fine white diamonds were found. The mine itself is named after J. J. Wessels Senior, the owner of Benaaudheidfonein Farm, where the Wesselton Mine originated in 1890 as a result of diamond discoveries. The mine, which was active until 2005, is located in South Africa, near the border between the Cape Colony and the Orange River Colony. In 1891, the mine was taken over by the De Beers diamond group. The diamonds from the Wesselton Mine are characterized by their exceptionally good quality and the fact that they are largely free of inclusions. As in the case of the Top Wesselton, other names such as River are derived from the places of origin of the diamonds so named. River-quality gemstones were predominantly found in alluvial deposits - i.e. in rivers (source: Renesim)
