An oval-cut sapphire with a deep, midnight blue hue shines in the center of this ring. Its mysterious radiance is reminiscent of the sky shortly after sunset, when the blue slowly fades into darkness. Twelve other sapphires, round-cut and carefully set, surround the center stone like petals. Fine engravings enliven the surface of the ring face and give it depth and movement. The gemstones are set in silver, while the rest of the ring is made of high-carat yellow gold. The warm shimmer of high-carat yellow gold combines with the cool shine of silver to create a harmonious composition reminiscent of sun and sea. The ring was made in Lombardy, as a small hallmark inside the ring band reveals. It also allows us to date the piece of jewellery to between 1944 and 1968. It was made in the workshop of Maria Socci in Gallarate near Milan. The ring is impressive and brightens up everyday life with Italian joie de vivre. The ring came to us here in Berlin.

The sapphire has been a symbol of truth, loyalty and wisdom for centuries. It was the stone of kings and clergymen, a symbol of inner strength and clear thinking. The Doge of Venice wore it as a sign of his connection with the sea, and Queen Elizabeth I relied on its protective power.
