All auctions / Jewellery & Gems / Timeless 3.63 Diamond Solitaire Ring in Platinum, from our Workshop
The custom of presenting a diamond ring as an engagement gift has been documented since the late Middle Ages. However, this hardest of all gemstones was a real treasure and almost exclusively the privilege of the nobility. It was only after rich deposits were discovered in South Africa in the late 19th century that the wider classes were able to afford diamond jewellery. The classic solitaire ring, i.e. a ring with just one diamond, is said to date back to a design by the famous jeweller Tiffany & Co. in 1886. To this day, this form of ring has remained the epitome of the engagement ring: It encapsulates all the symbolism that can be expected from a piece of jewelry that is based on a promise. One such solitaire ring was created here in Berlin on our behalf. The brilliant-cut diamond weighs 3.63 carats and has a tinted color (M, cape), which appears warm white to the eye. It has only tiny natural inclusions, which are barely visible even with a magnifying glass, and a very good brilliance. We have sustainably produced the ring with its classic prong setting in platinum: Both the diamond and the platinum of the ring are used here in second use - they are reused historical materials. Two independent appraisals of the piece are included with this wonderful ring. We love this ring design because it’s simple and lets the beautiful diamond take center stage.
