"Ik hou van je" - "I love you": this is exactly what this fine ring from the Netherlands whispers to us. The ring from the workshop of Kellenbach & Co. jewelers in Rotterdam is a classic solitaire ring and was probably once given as an engagement ring. The large diamond in the center makes it what we know today as an engagement ring. A gemstone that is said to be indestructible - a symbol of eternity and of a promise that is supposed to be just as lasting. Incidentally, this form of ring was made famous by New York jeweler Charles Lewis Tiffany, who first offered such rings in his catalog in 1886 and advertised them specifically as a sign of engagement. But the idea itself is much older: as early as 1477, Duchess Mary of Burgundy received a diamond ring from Maximilian of Habsburg as a promise of fidelity. This ring dates from around 1925 and is both simple and luxurious. A large old-cut diamond of around 1.37 ct is accompanied by six smaller diamonds, which are arranged like sparkling companions on the slightly rising ring shoulders. The large diamond is held in place by an airy chaton, which brilliantly accentuates its particularly fine color - top Wesselton. The ring is made entirely of white gold, a completely new and modern material at the time. It is in very good condition and is accompanied by an independent appraisal from Vienna.
