This ring is a composition based on the combined sound of different shades of white. It looks as if a small flower, a daisy perhaps, has been plucked fresh from the meadow and placed in the hand to spread freshness and beauty for a moment. A fine oriental pearl, formed by a pearl shell without human intervention, is surrounded by nine diamonds as if by petals. The soft sparkle of the historic diamonds contrasts beautifully with the cream tone of the pearl. The gemstones are set à jour in platinum, which enhances their radiance wonderfully. A simple 22-karat gold bar makes the precious flower wearable as a ring and gives the piece of jewelry a certain warmth. But the ring and flower have not always been one piece of jewelry! In fact, the ring was created from two different pieces of jewelry. It is therefore a so-called "mariage". The high-carat gold band, hallmarked in London in 1894, may once have been a wedding ring. The flower with its diamonds and pearl was made in the early 20th century. Such a transformation happened and still happens frequently today when an old wedding ring is passed on to the younger generation. The precious ring lives entirely from the natural beauty of its luxurious materials. We were able to discover it as it is in London.

British rings of the past are often made of particularly high-carat gold, the same alloy that the country's gold coins used in the past were made of. In the British Empire, the 1 pound coin, the famous sovereign, was minted from a gold alloy with a fineness of 91.6% and a copper content of 8.4%. It is therefore not surprising that this gold was used to forge rings, as it was always available in purses - at least for the wealthy. This ring is also made of gold with a fineness of 916/000 or 22 carats.
