A ring with a single large diamond is considered the classic engagement ring today. Here, the precious—and, according to legend, indestructible—stone symbolizes eternity and is thus meant to underscore the permanence of the promise made with it. The New York jeweler Charles Lewis Tiffany played a pivotal role in this tradition. In 1886, he introduced the so-called “Tiffany Setting,” in which a single diamond is raised above the ring band by six prongs, thereby exposing it to the light. In doing so, Tiffany had a decisive influence on the design of the modern engagement ring. The ring presented here is just such a classic engagement ring. An old-cut diamond weighing approximately 0.48 ct and of very good quality is held in place by a delicate platinum prong setting. A simple ring band made of slightly reddish gold makes this solitaire a comfortable ring to wear. The ring band tapers toward the shoulders, ensuring that all attention is focused on the precious gemstone. We discovered this elegantly designed, classic ring in Heidelberg.
