In previous generations, people who wanted to own jewellery in line with the latest fashion rarely went to a jeweller to buy a finished piece. Far more often, they went to a goldsmith to have a new piece of jewellery made according to their own ideas and in exchange with the craftsman. We can observe a typical approach of this period time and again: Instead of creating new pieces completely from scratch, existing gemstones were often incorporated and re-set. This resulted in pieces of jewellery that could continue to write the history of their own family and were as traditional as they were modern. This ring was created in just such a situation. A total of 16 historic old cut diamonds are set in two rows in a slightly graduated pattern on the ring face. The ring itself was created in the first half of the 20th century. However, the beautiful, cushion-shaped old cuts, so-called "old Mine cut" diamonds, are significantly older. They were cut as early as the middle of the 19th century or only a little later. They may have been taken from an heirloom in order to have them set in a modern setting at the time. Together they weigh around 1.28 ct. The yellow gold ring band tapers towards the bottom, allowing the showpiece to take precedence. The ring was probably created in England, but came to us here in Berlin.
