The wave or swirl ring design featuring diamonds first appeared in the history of jewelry around the turn of the century, c. 1900. And like so many ideas inspired by beauty, this one also originated in France. Here, rings in which small diamonds swirl around a large gemstone like a vortex are called tourbillon rings (from the French tourbillon = whirlwind). A particularly beautiful example is now on display here. A sapphire forms the centerpiece of the design. The 0.69-carat stone is oval-faceted and glows with an intense, royal blue colour. Although the crystal is actually very transparent, its finest natural inclusions give it a fascinating, velvety sheen when held up to the light. A wave of diamonds in various antique cuts surrounds the large stone, lending the ring a dynamic quality of its own. The ring and the gemstone settings are crafted from warm rose gold. Unfortunately, the ring bears no recognizable hallmarks, but we assume it was likely made in Germany. The trend for swirl rings had taken Europe by storm. We discovered the ring on the North Sea coast.
