The gold band ring, in whose band gemstones and diamonds are set side by side in harmonious alternation, is one of the most popular British pieces of jewellery of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Hardly any jewelry box was complete without such a piece - whether set with sapphires, rubies, emeralds or opals, these rings were part of the goldsmiths' permanent repertoire of the time. The choice of stones was not only based on aesthetic considerations, but could also carry symbolic messages. The combination of sapphire and diamond in particular was considered a romantic symbol in Victorian and Edwardian England: The blue sapphire stood for fidelity and sincerity, the diamond for eternity and immortality. A famous example of this is the brooch that Queen Victoria received from Prince Albert for her wedding, which she wore on her wedding dress. This ring is a characteristic example of this type of ring. It features three midnight blue sapphires, the color intensity of which is accentuated by the small white diamonds. The stones are set in high-carat yellow gold, adorned on the sides with fine floral engravings that lend additional vibrancy to the transverse ring face. The hallmarks provide certainty: the ring was made and officially certified in Birmingham in 1915. We discovered this beautiful ring in London. It is beautifully preserved and still carries the symbolism that made it a popular piece of jewellery over a hundred years ago: a small promise of fidelity and constancy.
