The custom of presenting a diamond ring upon engagement has been documented since the late Middle Ages. However, this hardest of all gemstones was an absolute rarity and almost exclusively the privilege of the nobility. It was not until abundant deposits were discovered in South Africa in the late 19th century that a somewhat broader segment of society could afford diamond jewellery. The classic solitaire ring—that is, a ring with a single diamond set in a prong setting—was popularized by Tiffany & Co. beginning in the 1880s. To this day, this style of ring has remained the epitome of the engagement ring: It embodies all the symbolism one could expect from a piece of jewellery that symbolizes a promise. This solitaire ring was crafted here in Berlin on our behalf. At its center is a sparkling 1.42-carat brilliant-cut diamond. The band and setting, crafted from high-karat yellow gold, enhance the brilliance of the diamond, which is graded “Slightly Tinted White, J” with natural inclusions rated “SI2”—inclusions that attest to its authenticity but are barely visible to the naked eye. The vintage diamond, dating from around 1960, is securely held in place by six prongs. The ring was intentionally crafted with sustainability in mind: both the diamond and the gold in the ring are repurposed, meaning they are reused, historic materials. An independent appraisal of the diamond’s quality is included with the ring.
