The "tourbillon" ring type first appeared in jewellery during the Art Nouveau period. The name comes from the French and means "whirlwind": a wonderfully descriptive name for a ring whose shoulders wrap around the central diamond like a whirlpool. Or like two protective hands holding a precious treasure. At the center of the whirlwind swirling here is an antique cushion-cut old mine cut diamond. It weighs around 0.25 carats and has a beautiful, warm white color. Its shape reveals that it was cut in the first half of the 19th century. Twenty-two small rose cut diamonds sparkle on the swirls that surround the center stone like the spiral arms of a galaxy. The entire visible surface of the ring, which is actually forged from high-carat gold, is covered with a layer of rhodium so that it appears white when worn - as was the fashion around 1910. However, the use of rhodium also reveals that the ring could not have been created c. 1910, but was only made a few years ago. Its design is meticulously modeled on the Belle Époque. The diamonds, however, are older and have been brought back to life here in a design that offers them a perfect stage. Due to its symbolism, the ring is also ideal as an engagement ring. An unusual yet wearable solitaire that connects several generations.
