18K Gold, Daisy Ring with Diamonds and Sapphire, Early 20th Century

This ring, known in jewelry classification as a daisy ring, is an elegant early 20th-century composition whose arrangement resembles a blooming flower — with a central stone surrounded by symmetrically placed diamonds like petals.

At its center is a natural sapphire of deep navy-blue color, cut in a round faceted style. This stone, with its rich, almost velvety tone, captivates not only with its beauty but also with its symbolism — long associated with loyalty, truth, and wisdom.

Surrounding the sapphire are old-cut diamonds, each with subtle variations in proportion and depth — hallmarks of hand-cut stones from the period. Their warm, gently diffused sparkle harmonizes beautifully with the cool hue of the sapphire, giving the entire piece a nostalgic yet noble character.

The ring’s simple and balanced form was a popular choice for engagement rings during the Edwardian and early Art Deco eras — admired not only for its beauty but also for the universal symbolism of the flower form, expressing the beginning of something lasting and beautiful.
