Country of origin: Although it bears no readable control mark, we believe it is of Dutch origin.
Style: Belle Époque - The Belle Époque is a period of European social history that began at the end of the 19th century and lasted until the First World War. Taking place during the era of the French Third Republic and the German Empire, the "Belle Époque" was named retrospectively, when it began to be regarded as a "golden age." The great European powers, new technologies improved life, and commercial arts adapted Renaissance and 18th-century styles to modern forms. In the United States, newly wealthy and emerging from the Panic of 1873, this comparable era was dubbed the Gilded Age. In the United Kingdom, this era overlaps the end of what is called the Victorian era and the period known as the Edwardian era. For more information on the styles

Additional information: Diamond is the birthstone for the month of April and, in addition to being the most popular precious stone for engagement rings, it is also the anniversary gemstone for the 10th and 60th wedding anniversaries.
Although diamond is the hardest of all gemstones known to man, its composition is the simplest: it is made of ordinary carbon. The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were splinters of stars fallen to Earth. Some even claimed they were the tears of the gods, crystallized lightning, or hardened drops of dew. The exact origin of diamonds remained a mystery for centuries.
In ancient times, only kings wore diamonds, symbols of strength, courage, and invincibility. Over the centuries, the diamond has acquired its unique status as the ultimate gift of love. It was said that Cupid's arrows were tipped with diamonds, whose magic was unmatched.
But it was only in 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy, that the tradition of diamond engagement rings began. The very reason a woman wears it on the third finger of her left hand dates back to the Egyptian belief that the vena amoris (vein of love) ran directly from the heart to the tip of the third finger of the left hand.

Note: All diamond weights, color grades, and clarity are approximate as the stones have not been removed from their settings in order to preserve the integrity of the mounting.
