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 wider classes were able to afford diamond jewellery. The classic solitaire ring, i.e. a ring with just one diamond, is said to date back to a design by the famous jeweler Tiffany & Co. in 1886. To this day, this form of ring has remained the epitome of the engagement ring. This is because it combines all the symbolism that can be expected from a piece of jewelry that is based on a promise. This piece of jewellery from around 1900 is just such a solitaire ring, with a sparkling old-cut diamond weighing 1.42 ct at its center. While the ring band is made from 900 yellow gold, the prongs in light platinum enhance the white sparkle of the large, individually cut diamond. The ring was created in Germany at the turn of the century and a detailed appraisal by the German Gemstone Appraisal Society in Idar-Oberstein confirms its quality. A romantic piece that is just waiting for a beautiful moment to be given as a gift.
