Crafted in 14 carat white gold (585) with the German master mark "EKN" – a classic "Lady Di" halo ring with an oval sapphire in a 6-prong setting, surrounded by eight sparkling brilliant-cut diamonds. The design became iconic through Princess Diana's engagement ring from 1981 and has since been one of the most sought-after jewelry designs of all time.
At the latest since Kate Middleton received this exact ring from Prince William as an engagement ring in 2010, the halo sapphire ring has become the modern queen of the vintage jewelry world.
This ring likely originates from a German workshop in the early 1980s to late 1990s. The combination of deep blue sapphire and white brilliant-cut diamonds is traditionally considered a symbol of fidelity, truth, and noble constancy.
Who might have worn it
Imagine...We received this ring from our partner in Bavaria. We don't know its exact original provenance – but we love to imagine its story:
Perhaps an engagement ring from the early 80s – a young woman in Munich whose fiancé was inspired by Diana's famous ring. At the time, it was the engagement ring par excellence: not the classic solitaire, but something with color, with history, with glamour. Worn with shoulder pads and a pearl necklace in the 80s, with a simple blouse in the 90s, then safely tucked away in a jewelry box for years – a ring that never went out of style, waiting for its second wearer.
