A sweeping composition of diamonds is the showpiece of this ring, which captures the sumptuous and playful taste of the Belle Époque. The ring is forged from slightly reddish gold, but is made of silver where the diamonds are set. This allows the stones to sparkle brighter and appear whiter against a slightly patinated background. The largest diamonds set the ends of the ring face and together weigh around 0.90 ct. A further 22 diamonds add an additional 0.70 ct of sparkle to the intertwined ring face. The ring was created in the c. 1900s, as can be seen from the cut of its diamonds. Their shape, the so-called old cut, was constantly changing until the modern full cut finally prevailed in the middle of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century, however, the cuts were still a little more individual. It is a great pleasure to look at the individual stones through a magnifying glass and notice their unique contours and proportions. Diamond jewellery was more coveted than ever in the period we call the Belle Époque. Not only had the discovery of new mines in South Africa made the precious gemstone more available, but the new electric light made diamond jewellery shine in the evening like never before. Bold, elegant designs meant that even a rich diamond setting did not appear too heavy. This ring is therefore a child of its time in every respect. We discovered this unusually beautiful piece of jewellery in Paris.
