The city of Amsterdam was the centre of the global diamond trade for many centuries. The ships of the East India Company first brought the precious stones to the Netherlands from India, and from the 18th century onwards also from Brazil. In fact, all the diamonds from the Brazilian deposits discovered in 1725 were sold exclusively to Dutch traders! The constant influx of gemstones also fuelled the diamond cutters in Amsterdam and Antwerp. Numerous technical innovations were developed in the skilled workshops and traditional cut shapes were perfected. One speciality was the rose cut, which is still referred to today as the "Dutch rose cut". The soft lustre of the diamond rose makes it popular with many enthusiasts. This ring from the 1950s presents seventeen of these special gemstones and arranges them in a so-called quatrefoil. The gemstones shine in closed mirror settings made of silver. The undersides of the ring head and the ornamented rail, which come into contact with the skin, are made of gold and therefore do not discolour. The design language of the ring is inspired by 18th century models, whose nostalgic touch was particularly popular again in the post-war period. We discovered the ring in Amsterdam.
