Calibré-cut gemstones, i.e. coloured stones cut to fit into predetermined shapes, were a specialty of the early 20th century. They were usually accompanied by sparkling white diamonds, whose brilliance they effectively enhanced. This technique came into fashion shortly before the First World War. In 1913, the latest jewellery fashions in Vienna were described as follows: "Among the newest rings are those whose plate is composed of a round-cut solitaire surrounded by a circle of small brilliant-cut diamonds, each of which is framed by a line of tiny emeralds; small brilliant-cut diamonds provide the filling, the edge is chevron-shaped and the platinum band is very thin". (Deutsche Goldschmiedezeitung, No. 3, 1913, p. 18.) A ring in this style is shown here, with calibrated rubies instead of emeralds. Its ring face is almond-shaped, in typical marquise form. A total of 12 diamonds in historic cuts have been set close together in platinum and framed by a delicate band of small rubies. The ring itself is made of 14-karat gold. Small hallmarks in the ring band reveal that the ring was created in Vienna. We discovered it in Berlin.
