In the 1980s, jewelry from the Victorian era came back into fashion. They added a warm, nostalgic note to the cool, deliberately unornamented modernity of the previous decades. This vintage ring also has a story to tell, which explains its unusual shape with two different colored stones in carmoisations of small diamonds. Designs with two opposing gemstones in heart-shaped settings can be found as early as the Rococo period and became popular again in the years around 1890: in the imagination of the time, the two precious gemstones represent man and woman facing each other as lovers; they are recognizable as independent elements, yet firmly connected by their feelings and symbolically united in one piece of jewelry. In our ring, two gem-set hearts face each other. The stones are fine, natural gemstones: a blue sapphire and a red ruby sparkle in the brilliance of sixteen diamonds. The combination of the gemstones reveals their meaning and explains the purpose of the ring. The blue sapphire stands for the fidelity of lovers, and the red ruby for the love that unites the two people symbolized by this ring. The diamonds, which have been said to be indestructible since time immemorial, underline the eternal nature of this connection. The ring was created as a cast of a Victorian ring from the turn of the century before last. This is also revealed by the "15ct" hallmark, which was only used in Great Britain until 1932. Only a glance at the modern stone cuts reveals that the ring is a vintage piece. Nevertheless, it is a romantic piece of jewelry and a wonderful gift with a loving message!
