The rich, warm glowing colour of the gold makes you understand why in alchemy the sun was once considered the symbol of gold. The ring here is particularly warm, slightly reddish gold, quite typical for the time of origin around 1900. The hallmarks inside the ring band let us locate the piece of jewellery to Great Britain, because only there the hallmark "9ct" was used. The ring face, consisting of the curved ends of the ring band, is adorned by a shimmering cultured pearl with a creamy pink luster. To the left and right of the pearly center sparkles a natural ruby each, creating a sweeping play of colours in red and white. In addition to its beauty, the setting also has a symbolic meaning, as rubies and pearls have always stood for love. Due to the colourfulness of the red mineral and the origin of the pearl in a shell, as with Venus, the goddess of love, born from a shell and responsible for the flourishing of love on earth, this is given by nature. I wonder if the ring was also once a gift of love?

It was a great sensation when the Japanese entrepreneur Mikimoto succeeded in cultivating saltwater pearls on a large scale in the early 1920s. Until then, pearl necklaces had to be made from naturally grown pearls, which were about as expensive as diamonds of the same size. It was not until the invention of the cultured pearl that pearl jewelry became affordable to a wider mass and triggered a great fashion that has lasted until today.
