This ring was given as a gift in the first days of the First World War, in August 1914 - as a small engraving on the inside of the ring band reveals. It was probably created shortly beforehand. The Great War had begun and many young men enthusiastically took to the field. The many victims and the great suffering that the war would cause were unforeseeable. The Belle Époque, that joyous international era of economic and social progress, was to end with a bang that year. However, there is still no sign of this in the form of this ring: it once again celebrates the great festival of beauty. A natural green emerald has been chosen as the centerpiece of the ring. Two old-cut diamonds accompany it at the top and bottom, set in delicate bezels. This trio is surrounded by an oval frame on which twelve smaller diamonds sparkle. Two further, slightly larger stones set the ring shoulders, which mark the transition to the narrow 18-karat gold ring band. This ring may have been an engagement ring given by a young soldier to his sweetheart before he went into service. The ring has a flat design and can therefore also be worn in modern everyday life. The beautiful ring came to us from the Aller beach.
