Combining sapphires and diamonds 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 sparkles a medium-blue sapphire, flanked by two brilliant-cut diamonds. The design is inspired by Edwardian pieces of jewellery from the early 20th century, but the City of London hallmark inside the ring band reveals that it was actually crafted in 1993. 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 nature of English art. In these lectures, Pevsner attributed to the people of the island a conservatism that at times bordered on obstinacy, yet which had led to remarkable continuities—and 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. The sapphire has long been considered a symbol of fidelity, while diamonds represent eternal love. With its symbolic language, the ring is particularly well-suited as an engagement ring. The compactly crafted ring face also ensures exceptional comfort. The ring came to us from the south of England.
