"What’s in a name?" asked Juliet in Shakespeare’s play about his most memorable star-crossed lovers. Well, a lot − as the story tragically proved. In the case of the Nymphaea capensis – the Cape Blue Water Lily that inspired the flower setting of this ring. The first part of its name, nymphaea, refers to the nymphs, the semi-divine water maidens in Greek mythology. The Ancient Greeks built shrines to honour the nymphs in caves. One of these, the Nymphe of Athens, was a popular spot for couples. Young men went there to be introduced to girls of marriageable age, and weddings took place there. This ancient history makes the Water Lily designs in the nature-inspired Fynbos Collection of floral diamond engagement rings a perfect choice for a love story that will end ‘happily ever after’, unlike that of Romeo and Juliet. The yellow-gold band features a solitaire setting and round-cut diamond, which has many precise facets for maximum light refraction and brilliance. Sparkling side stones add further glittering beauty and old-world glamour.
