Electricity, that mysterious, wondrous force of nature that took the world by storm at the beginning of the 20th century, is invisible. And yet it has a colour—at least in our shared, culturally shaped memory: electricity is blue. It is a bright blue, like the light of a flash of lightning, which first entered the world of fashion as “bleu électrique” and continues to shape our imagination to this day. The first advertisements using this term to describe the colour of fabrics appeared in France as early as the years just before 1890. But it wasn’t until the Art Deco era that this concept also made its way into the world of jewellery. That era, which was dedicated like no other to modernity and progress in all its facets—such as skyscrapers, automobiles, and electric light—also embraced jewellery in cool, radiant, electrifying colours. This ring celebrates the light of electrons—and, with its white and radiant light blue luster, makes its wearer’s beauty shine. A large zircon weighing more than three carats takes center stage on the ring. The white gold ring holds the cubic zirconia in six prongs. To the right and left, it is flanked by a total of 18 diamonds set on the ring shoulders, which taper toward the ring band. The ring came to us from London; it was also crafted in England.
