Is it a small target that invites us to shoot an arrow of love in its direction? The ring face of this ring is shaped just like one—with a beautiful old-cut diamond at its center. Rings of this type are indeed called “target rings” in the English-speaking world, and they remind us of Cupid’s arrows. A beautiful, sparkling old-cut diamond weighing approximately 0.14 ct takes center stage here, and a concentric circle of small natural pearls surrounds the large center stone. The ring face and shoulders are crafted from platinum, while the band itself is forged from 18-karat gold. As a result, the ring shines white on the outside, perfectly in keeping with the tastes of the era in which it was created. Refined and modern in its details, yet understated in size, the ring can once again be used as an engagement ring more than 110 years after it was created. We acquired this beautiful ring in London.

White jewels—that is, pieces of jewellery in white hues—celebrate the light. The invention of the electric incandescent light bulb at the end of the 19th century turned night into day. As a result, jewellery could now shine in the evening like never before. At the grand balls in Paris, London, and St. Petersburg, increasingly magnificent diamond necklaces were showcased, along with tiaras, brooches, and rings—all of them dreams crafted from white diamonds. Then, at the beginning of the 20th century, when first platinum and eventually white gold made their way into jewelers’ storefronts, this white radiance was perfected, and night was turned into day.
