In the 1980s, Victorian-style pieces of jewellery came back into fashion. They offered a warm, nostalgic touch in contrast to the cool, deliberately unadorned modernism of the preceding decades. This vintage ring also tells a story that explains its unusual shape, featuring two different coloured gemstones set in carmoisiered settings made of small diamonds. Designs featuring two gemstones set opposite each other in heart-shaped settings can be traced back to the Rococo period and regained popularity around 1890. In the romantic imagery of such rings, the two gemstones can be interpreted as lovers facing one another: as independent elements that are nonetheless firmly connected and symbolically united in a single piece of jewellery. In our ring, two gemstone-set hearts face each other, encircled by a bow. The hearts are set with a blue sapphire and a red ruby, respectively. The gemstones sparkle in the radiance of a total of 38 diamonds in historical cuts. The choice of gemstones complements the ring’s romantic message. The blue sapphire has traditionally been regarded as a symbol of fidelity, while the red ruby is considered the stone of love and passion. Finally, the diamonds—whose hardness and durability have for centuries been associated with permanence and immortality—complement the idea of an enduring bond. The ring was created in the 1980s as a cast replica of a Victorian original. Only a closer look reveals that it is not a 19th-century piece of jewellery, but rather a vintage piece. Its romantic symbolism, however, remains the same, making it a particularly beautiful gift for two people who feel connected.
