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 broader classes were able to afford diamond jewelry. 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: It combines all the symbolism that can be expected from a piece of jewelry that is based on a promise. This piece of jewelry, which was created here in Berlin on our behalf, is just such a solitaire ring. At its center is a sparkling antique cushion-cut diamond (the so-called old mine cut) weighing 0.91 carats. The platinum shank and setting enhance the white sparkle of the "Crystal, J" color grade diamond with good clarity (vs2). The luxurious stone is held securely by six prongs and is sustainably manufactured by us: Both the diamond, which was cut back in the 19th century, and the platinum of the ring are used here in second use, they are reused materials.

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 on the left hand as a sign of commitment, 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.
