Sapphires once adorned the rings of bishops, as it was believed that they could ward off deceit and untruth. This is how the idea of the sapphire as a symbol of fidelity, truth and loyalty developed in gemstone language. As late as 1913, the famous gemologist George Kunz wrote that the blue sapphire was a symbol of honest and lasting affection. One such stone, an oval-cut, faceted sapphire weighing just under two carats, adorns the centerpiece of this ring from the c. 1900s. A total of twelve old-cut diamonds, with a total weight of around 0.85 carats, form a fine frame and give the pieces of jewellery a festive sparkle. The diamonds are set in silver, while the ring itself is made of warm yellow gold - as is the setting of the sapphire. According to the hallmark, the ring was made in the Austrian capital of Vienna, and its hallmarks reveal that it was created between 1872 and 1922. It was then exported to Bucharest in the 1950s. However, this beautiful piece came to us from Munich. We have had an independent appraisal carried out which confirms the quality of its materials. The ring is a classic entourage ring and is also suitable for everyday wear thanks to its flat design.
