Description

In the years after 1930, a special form of late Art Deco called "retro" jewelry developed: The shapes became stronger, more physical, the volumes larger and the jewellery once again more magnificent, with the colorfulness of the stones and metal used playing a major role. The fashion of the years from 1940 onwards, for example, preferred pieces of jewelry made of yellow or red gold to those made of platinum or white gold, and colored stones replaced diamonds in popularity. The surfaces of the gold were fanned out geometrically and the jewels were designed almost like cubist architecture. This ring dates from these years. It features a clear, large aquamarine of 6.31 ct at its center. The colored stone looks as if it is floating, held securely but unobtrusively by four white gold prongs. The ring shoulders curve downwards to the right and left of it towards the ring band and are each set with four diamonds in different cuts. This gives the ring a certain architectural structure, which is also continued in its undercutting. Three fine struts made of red and white gold raise the aquamarine airily above the phalanx, allowing plenty of light to reach the aqua blue stone from all sides. A sturdy white gold ring band makes the piece of jewelry comfortable to wear. The very well-preserved ring found its way to us here in Berlin and is a testament to the powerful jewellery of late Art Deco and its love of color.
