Did you know that there was a "gem language" in the 19th century? Known as "gem lore" in Victorian England, various meanings were attributed to gemstones. The sapphire stood for fidelity, the ruby for love - as did the pearl. The diamond, on the other hand, as the hardest of all natural minerals, was ascribed durability, which could of course also be read in the context of love. It is therefore reasonable to assume that this ring, which we can date to 1886 thanks to the sequence of stamps on the inside of the ring band, is an engagement ring - a promise of fidelity in jewellery form. Crafted from high-carat gold, the ring features three deep blue sparkling sapphires and four white diamonds, presumably from the English colonies on the Indian subcontinent. In the second half of the 19th century, England and its colonial empire controlled large parts of the gemstone deposits. The ring is beautifully preserved - an ideal piece of jewellery for all friends of the colour blue, but also for those who want to reuse a symbol of loyalty and constancy.
