Description

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 always a very precious stone 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 wider sections of the population were able to afford diamond jewellery. The classic solitaire ring, i.e. a ring with just one diamond in a simple prong setting, is said to date back to a design by the famous jeweler Tiffany & Co. from 1886. To this day, this form of ring has remained the epitome of the engagement ring. This is because it combines all the symbolism that can be expected from a piece of jewellery that is based on a promise. This piece of jewellery from around 1925, which holds a diamond in an airy prong setting, is just such a solitaire ring. The sparkling old European cut diamond weighs exactly 1.00 carat. The setting is made of white gold, and due to the individual proportions of the diamond, we assume that the stone was cut in the late 19th century - and was selected for this ring around two generations later. The ring itself is made by hand and has a simple and restrained design on the front. However, its side sections are finely engraved and pierced in the area of the ring shoulders without distracting attention from the beautiful diamond. This romantic ring makes a wonderful engagement ring. We found it here in Berlin.
