Unworn "Trilogy" Ring with 1.19 ct Old European Cut Diamonds, from Our Workshop

“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the passing on of the flame.” This quote is attributed to the symphonist Gustav Mahler (1860–1911). This statement is particularly apt for this modern ring, as its romantic symbolism follows a centuries-old tradition. The ring was created on our commission and is a beautiful example of the enduring legacy of a classic design that, at the same time, does not deny the era in which it was created. The understated, modern ring band, crafted from high-karat yellow gold, features three antique diamonds with a total weight of 1.19 carats, with a larger center stone flanked by two smaller diamonds. The stones were cut as early as the second half of the 19th century. They sparkle with a white to slightly warm tinted colour and display small to distinct light-colored inclusions: these are stones formed in nature hundreds of millions of years ago, now set in a new piece. The design concept for the ring draws on the tradition of trilogy rings. In these pieces, the number of gemstones is meant to symbolize the shared past, the present, and the shared future. Diamonds—which, according to legend, are indestructible and thus eternally enduring—serve as a promise of eternity. Thanks to its shape and its symbolic meaning, our ring can therefore be the perfect engagement ring or a gift of love.
