A multicolored opal shimmers in the center of this ring. It is accompanied by two sparkling rose cut diamonds and elegantly curved spirals with beads of gold. Together, they create a charming interplay of color and warm shine. However, it is not just the gemstones and metal that create the impression: small shadow spaces are created in the openworked sections of the ring, further enhancing the expression of the stones and turning the design into a lively composition of light and dark. The ring was created at a time when aesthetic sensibilities were changing dramatically. While early Art Deco still had a preference for austere white gold and cool geometry, the need for warmth and fullness was now growing. Yellow gold returned to jewelry design, and with it a new delight in ornament and detail. In Germany, there was also a sentimental reminder of the Biedermeier period, which experienced a real renaissance in detailed forms. These trends are also reflected in this piece of jewellery. The goldsmith's work is richly decorated, but at the same time light and flexible in its expression. The filigree-like forms are reminiscent of historical Biedermeier styles, but not in the sense of mere imitation; rather, they have been reinterpreted to combine tradition and modernity. This ring is a fascinating companion that still surprises every time you look at it. It came to us here in Berlin and is a typical piece of jewellery from late Art Déco in Germany.
