Contemporary Ring with Three Brilliants in Gold, Created in Our Workshop

In the 1870s, a new way of setting gemstones emerged in Great Britain. Instead of the previously used prongs or frames, the stones were now set flush into the precious metal. The goldsmith then carved small channels around the stone like rays. The resulting chips, shaped into small grains, hold the stone securely in place. The result of this setting technique looks like a sparkling star. This was very much in keeping with the penchant of late 19th century contemporaries for romantic motifs, with their great love of brooches and other jewellery in the shape of stars and moons. At the same time, however, this type of setting is extremely practical: as it cannot get caught anywhere, it is very comfortable to wear. So it's no wonder that they quickly became very fashionable. This type of setting - contemporaries called it "gypsy setting", today it is usually called "flush setting" - was mostly used for rings with three or five stones. The fashion-conscious lady of those years often wore several of these band rings on her finger, sometimes set with colored stones, sometimes with diamonds. We have always liked rings of this type very much and our goldsmith has therefore designed a ring based on this historical idea. The high-carat gold ring is set with three brilliant-cut diamonds that sparkle like three stars in the gold band. The middle of the three diamonds is slightly larger than the other two. If you understand the three stones in the traditional way as symbols for time – yesterday, today and tomorrow – the ring becomes a "Carpe Diem" in jewel form. We have used vintage diamonds for this ring, obtained from pieces of jewellery that our goldsmiths could no longer repair. The gold is also recycled in this way, making the ring as sustainable as possible. We produce it in a small edition. The gold band is cast in Pforzheim in southern Germany, and further processing takes place here in Berlin. The diamonds may therefore differ slightly from one another. However, they are always harmoniously matched.
