A romantic wedding proposal and later a wedding ceremony with friends and family - you say "yes" to your partner twice. An engagement ring and a wedding ring are traditionally worn as symbols of this marriage vow and of love. While in Germany and Scandinavia the ring finger of the right hand is chosen for the wedding ring, in most other countries the rings are worn on the left hand. After the wedding, the engagement ring worn on the left hand is often placed in front of the wedding ring. Today, a ring with a single, large diamond is considered the classic engagement ring. Here, the precious (and, according to legend, indestructible) stone stands for eternity - which is intended to emphasize the duration of the promise made with it. The New York jeweler Charles Lewis Tiffany was important for this connection. Tiffany first sold such rings through his mail-order catalog in 1886 and advertised them specifically as engagement gifts. In fact, however, the tradition of seeing a diamond ring as a symbolic piece of jewelry is far older. As early as 1477, it is recorded, Duchess Mary of Burgundy received a diamond ring as a promise of fidelity from her future husband Maximilian of Habsburg. This fine vintage piece of jewellery from the 1960s is a classic engagement ring. Its elegant, understated shank made from high-carat white gold presents a 1.51 carat brilliant-cut diamond as a sparkling solitaire. The high-quality gemstone displays an impressive fire with very good clarity and is held by a chaton in six prongs, which allows plenty of light to fall into the stone. A beautiful and timeless ring with a wonderful brilliant-cut diamond, which came to us here in Berlin and comes with a detailed appraisal.
