Sparkling “Trilogy” Ring with Rubies & “Old Mine Cut” Diamond, from

“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 phrase 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 sparkling gemstones: a beautiful old mine cut diamond—a cushion-shaped “old mine cut” from the mid-19th century—flanked by two natural rubies. The rubies come from Thailand and were originally part of a brooch from the 1960s. The diamond came to us unmounted. It weighs exactly half a carat and has a warm tinted colour, which complements the colours of the gold and the rubies very well. It is accompanied by an independent appraisal. The design concept for the ring draws on the tradition of trilogy rings, which are rich in symbolism: the number of gemstones in these pieces is meant to represent the shared past, present, and future. The diamond—said to be indestructible and thus eternally enduring—stands as a promise of eternity, while the rubies, according to the language of gemstones, symbolize love. Thanks to its shape and its symbolic meaning, our ring can therefore be the perfect engagement ring or a gift of love.
