All through the night, / I delight in your love, All through the night / You're so close to me! In Cole Porter's classic All Through the Night, Ella Fitzgerald sings about the attitude to life in the early 1930s: "Day is my enemy, night is my friend" - life begins at sunset, when the music starts and the lamps in the bars begin to glow. This antique ring could have adorned Ella's finger, as she made her debut as a singer at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem during this eventful era. Originally, the seventeen-year-old artist wanted to take part in a talent competition there as a dancer, but her legs trembled so much with excitement that she sang a song instead. The transverse, staircase-like ring face presents a beautiful old-cut diamond of around 0.64 carats in its center. Small diamond roses and milgrains glitter on the platinum surface. Two stripes of midnight blue sapphire, typical of the time, provide a dynamic counterpoint and lead to the simple white gold ring band. The ring face in platinum on yellow gold has an elegant openwork dome shape. It is structured by masterfully applied, sparkling milgrains and fine sawing work - the very ornaments that were particularly popular design elements in Art Deco. According to the hallmark, the ring was made in Great Britain and is still in very good condition today.
