Description

The warm shimmer of gaslight and candlelight, the rustle of luxurious duchess silk and the scent of damask roses and ambergris: this ring transports us directly into the world of the late 19th century, into the boudoir of a society lady adorning herself for a festive evening. Pieces of jewellery like this were created to underline the elegance of their wearer in the salons and at balls in the glitter of luxurious stones. The pointed oval ring face has the characteristic shape of a marquise ring. Its center is formed by a bright blue sapphire that shines in soft mid-blue. It is accompanied by two small sparkling old-cut diamonds, which give the stone a radiant backlight. The composition is framed by twelve larger diamonds, whose antique cut, the so-called "old mine cut", refracts the light warmly and vividly, quite unlike the cool reflections of modern diamonds. The ring has retained its irresistible charm to this day. We discovered it in the south of England.
