The so-called entourage ring is a true classic in the field of jewellery. It is one of the most beautiful ways to vividly showcase a large colored stone: Framed in a bed of white diamonds, the contrasting effect of radiant white enhances the mid-blue sparkle of a faceted sapphire to particular advantage. Since the middle of the 20th century, white gold has been used for this purpose, as it takes a back seat in terms of color and allows the gemstones to come to the fore. This ring is also made from 14-karat white gold. The classically designed ring features a natural medium blue sapphire weighing 1.35 ct in the center. Ten brilliant-cut diamonds, together weighing 0.55 ct, surround the center stone, held by simple white gold prongs. A gallery of white struts holds all the gemstones slightly above the finger, allowing plenty of light to reach them. Ever since Lady Diana chose such a sapphire, diamond and white gold ring from the then court jeweler Garrard as her engagement ring in 1981, the blue sapphire version has been considered an undisputed classic among entourage rings. However, the blue sapphire already had royal connotations before that. In the Middle Ages, kings and princes wore it in the belief that it warded off trickery and deceit. It was probably from this association as a "stone of truth" that the meaning as a stone of fidelity developed in the jewelry language of the 19th century: After all, the English phrase "to be true to someone" means to be sincere and loyal to someone. The ring was created in Germany in the 1980s and comes with a detailed appraisal from the German Gemstone Appraisal Society.
