Description

A select diamond in an understated ring that places the precious gemstone at the center of attention - this design has been associated with the classic engagement ring since the late 19th century. Here is such a ring that presents the idea in a timeless guise. A brilliant-cut diamond of approx. 0.24 ct occupies the center of the ring. The diamond shines white and shows only small inclusions. It is set in platinum. Six smaller diamonds accompany the brilliant-cut diamond to the right and left, also set in platinum, with the ring shoulders merging in a straight line into the ring band of high-carat yellow gold. The design is clear, linear and calm: the eye is always drawn to the diamond in the center. We believe that the ring was created in the early years after the Second World War. Its workmanship in gold and platinum is still very much in the tradition of the early 20th century. However, the cut of the diamond in the center suggests that it was created towards the middle of the century. We were able to acquire the ring here in Berlin. It was most likely created as an engagement ring in Great Britain.

The symbolic act of giving a diamond ring as an engagement gift is first documented in 1477 and goes back to Mary of Burgundy, who received a diamond ring as a promise of fidelity from her future husband Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg. Wearing a ring as a sign of commitment on the third finger of the left hand, on the other hand, was already a custom among the ancient Egyptians, who believed that the "vein of love" connected the heart to the left ring finger.
