Paris shines. The fact that the French capital is known throughout the world as the city of light is due to two developments: Firstly, Paris was the center of the European Enlightenment in the 18th century - in French "Siècle des Lumières", in English "Age of Enlightenment". Secondly, Paris was the first metropolis to be illuminated by gaslight throughout the city. It transformed the night on the boulevards into day and inspired literature, art and life. From the 1860s onwards, 56,000 gas lamps lit up the city - and Paris shone like never before. It may be a coincidence, but the jewellery of the great Parisian goldsmiths' houses also seems to be inspired by this love of light. When we think of names such as Cartier, Chaumet or Boucheron, we see sparkling creations made of shining diamonds: in the City of Light, the glitter of jewels was almost obligatory. This ring perfectly reflects this elegant taste: it is made entirely of platinum and diamonds. Three large old-cut diamonds in fine frames are surrounded by a trefoil-shaped frame of smaller stones. A total of around 1.68 carats of diamonds are set. Saw-cut shadow gaps and delicate millegrains lend the piece an almost ethereal lightness. The workmanship and cut of the diamonds prove that the ring was created in the 1920s. A hallmark on the outside of the ring band also shows that the ring was newly registered for trade in Paris in recent years. It was probably previously owned by the family for a long time, where it was cherished and cared for.
