Beautiful Antique Diamond Ring in White Gold & Platinum, c. 1935

Adamant, the Indomitable—this was the name by which the hardest of all natural minerals, the diamond, was known in antiquity and the Middle Ages. Its hardness and durability made it a symbol of eternity centuries ago. Although people back then did not yet know that even the youngest diamonds are already hundreds of millions of years old, the idea of wearing a gemstone of such enduring beauty in an engagement ring—which itself embodies the promise of a shared future—seems all the more wonderful today. The diamond set here weighs approximately 0.95 carats and features an early brilliant cut. With a fine white colour (F) and only minute inclusions (VSI), it possesses an exceptionally vibrant brilliance. With every movement, the stone displays a play of light reflections. It is held in place by a delicate prong setting that lifts it slightly above the band, allowing light to enter the gem from all sides. Elegant arched shapes flank the solitaire on both sides, separated by a double gap and set with small diamonds. They lend the design an almost dance-like elegance. The combination of white gold and a platinum front, the design of the setting, and the early brilliant cut indicate that it was created around 1935. During those years, the Art Deco style gradually evolved from flat pieces of jewellery to more three-dimensional, sculptural designs. A wonderful little jewel that can once again become a symbol of a new shared history—and which found its way to us here in Berlin.
