The second volume of *i* (*Educational Library for the Daughters of Germany*/i), published in Augsburg in 1834, contains a chapter on the so-called “language of flowers.” This language of flowers remained a common means of nonverbal communication well into the early 20th century, and much of it has been preserved to this day in proverbs and idioms. In earlier times, young lovers in particular were often unable to express their feelings openly or declare their affection in words. The language of flowers therefore became an important means of communicating emotions without speaking. Under the entry for the daisy, the above-mentioned volume explains its symbolism: the humble meadow flower represents gentleness, youth, pure and quiet joy, as well as modesty and love. It is very much in this spirit that this delicate ring, created around the turn of the twentieth century, was designed. At the centre of the composition sparkles an old-cut diamond, encircled by a cluster of eight smaller diamonds. Arranged like the petals of a daisy around its heart, the diamonds are set in silver, lending the entire face of the ring a warm white radiance. The diamonds display some noticeable inclusions, giving their brilliance a gentle and restrained character rather than an intense sparkle. A simple yet substantial shank of high-carat yellow gold completes the design. The ring brings together its precious materials in a beautifully harmonious composition. In the language of flowers, it is a truly wonderful token of love.
