Description

Citrine, agate, jasper, amethyst and onyx - to the chemist, all these gemstones are quite uniformly quartz. However, they differ clearly in their color. The color spectrum of citrine begins with the most delicate champagne tones, occasionally turns honey-colored and extends to a rich tone like sweet Madeira wine. In the 1930s, colored quartz stones, including citrine, were in great demand. This ring is a fine example of this. Its center is occupied by an oval-cut citrine weighing around 6.20 carats. The yellow gold setting is also typical of the decade: florally playful and with nostalgic echoes of the shapes of the past. In many ways, jewellery from the 1930s drew more on the history of art again than the early, cool and modernist design language of early Art Deco did. In the following decade, the pieces of jewellery became more voluminous, and here and there the one or other reminiscence even of the Biedermeier period is mixed in with modern forms: as a symbol of the "good old days", the formal language of the early 19th century came back into fashion. The ring is in very good condition and is a summery eye-catcher even on cloudy days. It came to us here in Berlin.
