Description

A ring with a single, large diamond is considered the classic engagement ring today. Here, the precious (and, according to legend, indestructible) stone stands for eternity - which is thus meant to underline the duration of the promise made with it. Significant for this connection was the New York jeweller Charles Lewis Tiffany. Tiffany first marketed such rings through his mail-order catalogue in 1886 and specifically promoted them as engagement gifts. In fact, however, the tradition of seeing a diamond ring as a symbolic piece of jewellery is far older. As early as 1477, it is said, Duchess Mary of Burgundy received a diamond ring as a promise of fidelity from her future husband Maximilian of Habsburg. Another interesting chapter on this subject can still be followed today in the art city of Florence. Here Piero de' Medici chose the diamond ring as his personal emblem, as his imprese. The son of Cosimo and father of Lorenzo il Magnifico had this ring, adorned with a few diamonds around a banner with the inscription "SEMPER", i.e. "always", placed on all the buildings for which he was responsible, but also on everyday objects. Families linked to the Medici, such as the Rucellai, adopted this sign: We still see it today on the façade of their city palazzo. Even in Medici times, the diamond ring was a sign of eternity. This is also the meaning of the modern diamond ring, which was created in the USA and here in Berlin. We commissioned the white gold setting from a small manufactory in Chicago and set an old diamond in it, which came to us unmounted. Weighing exactly one carat, the vintage diamond is Top Wesselton in colour with some inclusions that attest to its authenticity. Fine milgrain settings embellishments and delicate piercing work distinguish the setting, which is also set with six other small diamonds. The white gold, with its festive colouring, brings out the sparkle of the magnificent centre stone and its shimmering companions particularly beautifully.
