Description

The entourage ring with sapphire in the middle of a halo of diamonds is a classic in jewelry history. This ring shows why. It has a large sapphire in its center. The color of the stone is particularly beautiful, a bright blue, not at all inky or almost black like many other sapphires. The gemstone is framed by ten brilliant-cut diamonds weighing a total of around two carats. Six more diamonds set the shoulders of the sturdy ring band. The combination of sapphire and diamonds used here can be explained not only by the fact that the stones enhance each other in intensity. In fact, since the 19th century in particular, they have stood for fidelity and eternity, which is why the Entourage ring with sapphire was and is often worn as an engagement ring. A famous example of this is the ring worn by Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales. She wears a very similar piece from the London court jeweler Garrard on her ring finger - a piece of jewelry that was previously worn by Princess Diana. The classic color combination of the stones is wonderfully enhanced by settings made of high-carat white gold. This creates an attractive contrast that perfectly accentuates the cool sparkle of the gemstones. The ring was probably created in the United States around 1990. We have had an independent appraisal carried out, which confirms the high quality of the materials used.

If you ask ten people what their favorite color is, according to various surveys, eight of them will answer "blue". Why? Probably because blue is the color of the sky and the sea and because blue has a calming effect on many people. According to popular belief, sapphire is the stone of truth, loyalty, wisdom and reason. Accordingly, the Doge of Venice wore such a mild, blue stone set in gold as a sign of his loyalty and marriage to the sea. Queen Elizabeth I of England also believed that her sapphire could protect her against slander and cunning. It is possible that these associations in the 19th century gave rise to the meaning of sapphire in the so-called gemlore, the language of precious stones. In this language, it was associated with truth and loving loyalty. For example, the painter Sir Edward Burne Jones, who also designed jewellery, wrote to his close friend Frances Graham: "Sapphire is truth, and I am never without it [...] Sapphires I make my totem of".
