By the late nineteenth century, the diamond solitaire had become one of the most popular forms of engagement ring. Particularly in the United States, the diamond solitaire established itself as the quintessential symbol of a promise to marry, while in Germany and Great Britain it likewise ranked among the most coveted engagement gifts. Its remarkable success is hardly surprising: the symbolic meaning is immediately apparent, with the unbroken circle of the ring representing eternity, reinforced by the choice of a single, exceptional diamond. The present ring, dating to around 1890, is a fitting tribute to the natural beauty of the diamond. At its centre is a sparkling old-cut diamond weighing 0.76 carats. Its distinctive cut and only minor inclusions give the stone considerable character and brilliance. The diamond was reworked at a later date: its girdle has been faceted all the way around, a treatment that enhances the stone's brightness. However, this technique did not become widely adopted until the 1980s. Acquired from a private source in Berlin-Dahlem, this ring would make an exceptional engagement ring today.
