Description

The "tourbillon" ring type first appeared in jewellery during the Art Nouveau period. The term comes from the French and means something like whirlwind: a wonderfully descriptive name for a ring whose shoulders wrap around the central diamond like a whirlpool. Or like two protective hands holding a precious treasure. At the center of the whirlwind swirling here is a large old-cut diamond. It weighs around 1.44 carats and is therefore a very impressive size. It has been graded by an independent expert and its color grade is a natural "light yellow", reminiscent of delicious lemon ice. It is very pure (vvsi) and has a beautiful brilliance due to its very good symmetry for an old cut. A further 24 small diamonds sparkle on the ring shoulders. The entire visible surface of the ring, which is actually forged from high-carat gold, is covered with platinum so that it appears white when worn - as was the fashion around 1910. The ring is in very good condition. Due to its symbolism, the ring is also ideal as an engagement ring. An unusual yet wearable solitaire with over a century of history.
