This ring from the turn of the century before last is impressive, solid and effective at the same time. The vividly engraved ring is made from warm rose gold and features a large old cut diamond as a solitaire. The stone weighs 2.11 carats and sparkles in a light yellow hue. A narrow, all-round band of light platinum frames the diamond and sets it off effectively against the warm tone of the gold. The diamond is cut in the so-called "Old European Cut", the common cut for brilliant-cut diamonds from around 1900. This cut, which developed from the older "Old Mine Cut" and predates the modern brilliant cut, is characterized by a small table, a high crown and a clearly pronounced calette; diamonds of this cut are cut in an almost round shape. The larger facets create a deep, calm reflection with softer light reflections than we are familiar with from modern brilliant-cut diamonds. It is precisely this characteristic light effect that makes antique diamonds so desirable. The stone shows a rich inclusion pattern of bar-shaped inclusions that testify to its formation in the interior of the earth hundreds of millions of years ago. The ring was created in Germany as a men's ring, but can be worn by both men and women. The solid design not only gives it presence, but also makes it suitable for everyday wear. The large diamond is securely embedded in the metal so that no prongs protrude or interfere. The result is a piece of jewellery that is as powerful as it is elegant.
