Antique Art Nouveau Ring with Diamonds Set un Platinum & Gold, ca. 1910

Description

For almost the entire 19th century, all branches of the decorative arts relied on repetitions of historical ornaments. The imitation of these old styles was used to train oneself, and eventually even to compose one's own new interpretations. However, as a new century approached, this was felt to be tiring, no longer in keeping with the times. The search was on for a formal language that would be entirely new. "The new style", Art Nouveau, was therefore a sensation: it lived from the dynamics of inward and outward swinging lines, which finally made it possible to leave historicism behind. This ring also lives from the power of the line. The ends of the ring band swing widely up and down, each holding a diamond at its end. An old-cut diamond with individual inclusions sparkles in the center of the ring face. More rose and brilliant cut diamonds are set between the large diamonds and almost seem to float in fine millegrain settings. The fact that the diamonds have different cuts can be explained by the fact that the ring was worn a lot and with pleasure. Thus, some of the diamonds that were lost over the course of more than 100 years were replaced in a modern way. The diamond settings, as well as the front, are made of platinum, which recedes in color, revealing only the yellow gold of the ring band on the side. We were able to discover the ring in Bonn. It is very likely that it was also made in Germany.
