This ring showcases a wonderfully brilliant, clear old-cut diamond of approx. 0.36 ct. The diamond is held as a solitaire by a bezel setting with millegrain and is the center of a wondrous plant whose leaves drift to all sides and form the ring face in a symmetrical, elongated oval arrangement. Precise pierced ornament structures the leaves and creates a subtle interplay of light and shadow. The ring is made of white gold, a recently introduced precious metal at the time. It was not until 1912 that the German company Dr. Richter & Cie. from Pforzheim succeeded in producing white gold - the so-called "white gold Dorico", a sensation in its day. "White is the watchword today, white is fashionable", the Leipzig watchmaker's newspaper announced about the new white gold in 1912. Typical of the time, the diamond settings here also had a thin layer of platinum on top, as white gold is not quite as pristine white as platinum. This beautiful and unusual ring is in very good condition. It is also suitable as an unusual engagement ring instead of the classic solitaire.

The ring bears the so-called "Laurin" mark, the letters "Ln" in ligature. This mark was introduced in the 1930s and guaranteed a certain minimum quality of craftsmanship and material as a mark of quality. It is named after the legendary dwarf king Laurin from the Rosengarten in the Dolomites, who was regularly used in advertising of the time to promote Laurin jewelry: "From the shaft of the magic mountains / Laurin, the lord of the dwarves / Mines precious stones and jewels / For our adornment and feast for the eyes." See also our collection of some ' illustrations of the Laurin mark.
