The pearl has a very special status among jewels, as it is not a mineral. Unlike gemstones, it does not have to be cut, but is found in the form in which it is used in jewellery. Until the early modern period, there were many myths surrounding its creation: "There are various opinions among scholars about the origin and growth of these pearls, many of which, like Pliny of old, hold that they are generated from the dew that drips into the opening shells". A precious natural pearl is also at the center of this ring. It is flanked by two old-cut diamonds. Rings of this type are also known as "trilogy rings". They are said to convey a romantic message: The three gemstones are meant to bring to mind a shared past, present and future. The ring from c. 1910 presents its setting as a row set at an angle to the finger. Small diamond roses on the shoulders accompany the triumvirate. While the ring face is set in light platinum, the narrow shank is made of high-carat gold. We found this delicate ring here in Berlin. The quote from the Museum Museorum, Valentini 1704, quoted from Liselotte Hansmann/Lenz Kriss-Rettenbeck: Amulett und Talisman. Appearance and history, Munich 1966, p. 110.
