With its millennia-old culture, China has always fascinated Europe. It is impossible to imagine European art of the last few centuries without chinoiseries; Chinese decorative arts, especially porcelain, were a status symbol and a sign of distinguished taste at all European royal courts. When long-distance travel became easier at the beginning of the 20th century and trade relations were expanded, bringing the Middle Kingdom closer, genuine Chinese arts and crafts also became affordable for the middle classes. This large ring was created in the second half of the 20th century. At this time, the Chinese government made great efforts to produce high-quality handicrafts specifically for export in order to provide the young state with foreign currency for reconstruction after the long years of civil war. The center of the design is set with a cabochon of a sky-blue gemstone, framed by a fine mesh of silver wire with filigree ornaments. The result is a wonderful and unusual piece of jewelry from the Far East, which is also in very good condition.
