"O mio babbino caro, mi piace, è bello, bello; vo' andare in Porta Rossa a comperar l'anello! Sì, sì, ci voglio andare!" With these famous words, Puccini's heroine Lauretta in Gianni Schicchi sings about her longed-for ring and the promise of love and eternal togetherness it contains. This ring from Italy reminded us of Lauretta's aria. A dark blue, natural sapphire of two carats forms its center. It is set in high-carat gold and surrounded by twelve sparkling diamonds in silver settings. A total of around 1.20 ct of brilliant-cut diamonds are set, stones of excellent clarity and brilliance. The adjoining ring band with fine engravings is again made of yellow gold. The cuts of the gemstones indicate that it was created in the second half of the 20th century, but the fine engravings on the ring shoulders and on the sides of the ring band as well as the classic entourage shape could just as easily have been created as early as c. 1900. We therefore assume that the ring was created in the years around 1980, when a lot of jewellery with a romantic, nostalgic touch came into fashion. In the language of gemstones, the sapphire stands for fidelity, the diamonds for eternity. So this ring is far more than just a piece of jewellery. It is a promise. A ring for all those who, like Lauretta, want to seal their happiness with a beautiful jewel.
