Although the diamond has only become the classic choice for engagement rings in the last century and a half, its symbolism of eternity dates back much further. As early as 1652, Thomas Nichols wrote in his Lapidary that the diamond is so hard that even the fiercest fire cannot destroy it, “and for this cause it may be used symbolically as a signification of constancy.” This ring is set with a very special diamond: an old-cut marquise-shaped stone weighing just over one and a half carats. It has a delicate tinted colour (M) that makes it appear sun-kissed, and at the same time, a high clarity (VSI). The latter, combined with its unique antique cut with large facets, gives it a wonderful brilliance and a delicate fire: The light is reflected and simultaneously refracted into iridescent colours. It is a true joy to turn the ring in your hands and study the play of light within the diamond. We had the antique diamond set in our workshop into a ring created around the same time to provide it with a fitting setting. Delicately curved leaf motifs frame it on the left and right with a playful asymmetry. Even when viewed from the side, delicate engravings reveal the attention to detail characteristic of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The ring is in very good condition. It comes with an independent gemmological report.
