This gold ring is a cheerful yet elegant illustration of a particular style of expressive Art Déco from the 1920s. Its platinum face unfolds a geometric composition with a larger old-cut diamond in the center, flanked by smaller diamonds in settings decorated with milgrains on a slightly curved ring face. The side sections are particularly spectacular: Here, jagged lines wind into a rhythmic movement that is entirely in keeping with the taste of the mid-1920s. Early Art Déco in Central Europe loved the combination of geometry and bizarrely abstract natural forms, which are reflected not only in jewellery but also in contemporary architecture and fashion. We encounter comparable design elements in the lattices and decorative paintings of the Renaissance Theater in Berlin (rebuilt 1926-1928) or in the ornamentation of the Grassi Museum in Leipzig (1926/27). To the goldsmiths of the 1920s, these new forms seemed tailor-made for a modern age characterized by automobiles, skyscrapers and express trains. Plant forms no longer stretched upwards softly and organically, but in slender, jagged lines; lightning flashed as ornaments across wallpaper - symbols of electricity, which was now available everywhere. Even people's bodies slimmed down and stretched out in graphics and paintings. This gold ring with a platinum display side is a characteristic piece of jewellery from this era. The sparkling diamonds are artfully integrated into the strict geometric shape, while its details also incorporate expressive movements. It thus exemplifies the aesthetics of early Art Déco in an uncompromisingly modern way.
