Hardly any piece of jewellery is as closely linked to the idea of love and commitment as the diamond ring. As the hardest natural mineral, the diamond became a symbol of permanence and durability early on—qualities that continue to make it the classic stone for engagement and commemorative rings to this day. Diamonds with a historic old-cut style hold a special allure. Long before the standardized proportions of the modern brilliant cut became established, each stone was shaped by hand from the available rough crystal. This resulted in unique contours and facet patterns that give each diamond an unmistakable character. At the center of this finely crafted ring from the 1920s is a round old European cut diamond weighing approximately 0.48 ct, known as the “Old European Cut.” Its rich, clearly visible inclusions make it a so-called “Salt & Pepper” diamond and give it a distinctive appearance. Not a flawlessly pristine stone, but a diamond with personality. The center stone is held in place by a delicate prong setting made of light-colored platinum. The shoulders are also crafted from platinum and set with three smaller diamonds on each side. They transition into the simple ring band made of high-karat yellow gold. The contrast between cool platinum and warm gold is characteristic of high-quality jewellery from that era. A unique ring of understated elegance that we discovered in London.

“Even as favorite gemstones come and go, only to make a comeback years later as ladies’ new favorites, the diamond has never lost its status; just as its impeccably clear fire endures, so too does it outlast all fashion trends. It is therefore understandable that so many secret desires are directed toward diamond rings...” (From a jewelry brochure from the 1930s)
