Combining diamonds and gold has always been a timeless pairing in the world of jewelry. This ring, crafted from high-karat gold, also follows this classic tradition: At its center, three beautiful brilliant-cut diamonds sparkle, weighing a total of approximately 0.75 ct. The design is inspired by Edwardian pieces of jewellery from the early 20th century, but the Birmingham hallmark on the inside of the ring band reveals that it was actually crafted in 1995. In fact, forms in art and crafts that were once considered good in Great Britain often endure for a surprisingly long time. In 1955, art historian Nikolaus Pevsner delivered a series of radio lectures for the BBC titled “i”The Englishness of English Art on the essence of English art. In these lectures, Pevsner attributed to the people of the island a conservatism that at times bordered on endearing stubbornness, yet which had led to remarkable continuities—and which lent English art an unmistakable character. The ring presented here is a fine example of this. In addition to the beauty of their juxtaposition, the arrangement of the gemstones in the ring can also be interpreted symbolically. In the language of gemstones, diamonds are considered symbols of eternal love. With its symbolic language, the ring is therefore particularly well-suited as an engagement ring. The ring came to us from the south of England.
