Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

This ring was crafted around 1890—yet this historic piece of jewellery has a history spanning over a century, with chapters that take us back to times both after and even before its creation. At its center is a beautiful natural sapphire in a high cabochon cut. Unlike faceted stones, a cabochon derives its allure not from sparkling reflections of light, but from the calm, velvety depth of its colour. The sapphire was not set in the ring until later—it was evidently cherished and worn for a very long time. The precious gemstone is surrounded by a total of 26 diamonds in historic old-cut and rose cut styles. Some of the old-cut diamonds may even be older than the ring itself and likely date back to the mid-19th century. Such reuses were not uncommon, and we frequently encounter them in antique pieces of jewellery, as diamonds have always been expensive and old, existing gemstones were relatively often incorporated into newly crafted pieces. Time has certainly left its mark on the ring—but that is precisely what makes it so interesting. To this day, it remains a beautiful, striking piece of jewelry.
