Description

The custom of presenting a diamond ring for an engagement has been attested since the late Middle Ages. However, this hardest of all gemstones was so rare and precious that diamonds were the exclusive privilege of the nobility. It was only after the discovery of rich diamond deposits in South Africa in the late 19th century that other social classes were able to afford diamond jewellery. The classic solitaire ring, i.e. a ring with only one diamond, is said to date back to a design by the famous jeweller Tiffany & Co. in 1886. To this day, this form of ring has remained the epitome of the engagement ring. Because in it bundles all the symbolism that can be expected from a piece of jewellery, which is based on a promise. Such a solitaire ring is also the present piece of jewellery, which was created in the 60s of the 20th century and which came to us from a distinguished household on the Elbchaussee in Hamburg. In its center it presents a sparkling brilliant-cut diamond weighing 1.75 carats with beautiful color (I) and purity grade "vvsi" (very very small inclusions). The ring is forged from platinum and holds the brilliant diamond in six pronges that very discreetly form small hearts - a reference to the ring's function as a gift of love. The understated platinum perfectly supports the sparkle of the first-class diamond. This creates a romantic piece that is just waiting for a beautiful moment to be given away. The ring comes with a detailed appraisal from the German Gemstone Valuation Society.
