In 1955, the art historian Nikolaus Pevsner gave a series of radio lectures on the nature of English art on the BBC entitled The Englishness of English Art. In it, Pevsner attested to the island nation's conservatism, which at times bordered on stubbornness, but which had led to astonishing continuities - and lent English art an unmistakable character. Bringing sapphires and diamonds together has always been a timeless combination in jewelry. This ring in high-carat yellow gold also follows this classic path: three medium blue sapphires sparkle in the center, accompanied by four shining diamonds in a traditional row. The design is based on Victorian jewelry from the late 19th century, but the ring was only created in the final years of the 20th century. In addition to the beauty of their juxtaposition, this composition can also be appreciated for its romantic significance. The sapphire has always been a symbol of fidelity, while the diamonds stand for eternal love. This makes the ring with its symbolic language particularly suitable as an engagement ring. Beauty and expressiveness combine to create an attractive gift of love. The compact ring face also makes it particularly comfortable to wear.
