Description

Some fashions are short-lived, even in the world of jewelry. It is therefore all the more delightful to discover a historical piece whose design represents an original version of a style that remains popular to this day: the entourage ring. Here, we encounter such a piece in the form of a ring from around 1780, crafted in Western Europe, which evokes the image of a precious flower. Carmoization—framing a central stone with a ring of other, often smaller stones—originated around the middle of the 17th century. However, early examples of this technique are rare, as precious stones, typically diamonds, were exceptionally expensive and were often reused in new pieces of jewelry at a later date. All the more remarkable, then, that this ring has survived! A cushion-cut, old-cut diamond shines at the center of the ring face, surrounded by a wreath of diamond roses. The stones are set in closed silver settings, typical of the period. The old cuts, which are becoming increasingly rare today, impart a soft sparkle and a unique character to the diamonds. The ring band, and likely also the center stone, were replaced in later times but blend harmoniously with the overall piece. This thoughtful restoration has made the ring wearable once again, allowing it to endure the test of time. As a result, this ring is not only a valuable collector’s item but also an extraordinary and meaningful gift of love. Cf. on the ring type and with examples of dating: Hanns-Ulrich Haedeke, Schmuck aus drei Jahrtausenden. Hanns-Ulrich Haedeke Collection, Cologne 2000, p. 288.
