Description

A grand ball, a get-together in a candlelit salon, a supper in an elegant hotel, an opera performance: in the years before the turn of the last century, there were plenty of occasions for the "happy few" to wear and present beautiful wardrobe and magnificent jewellery. In Guy de Maupassant's stories or contemporary testimonies such as Harry Graf Kessler's diaries, we can see this time right before our eyes. The ring presented here comes from this lost world. Its design as a so-called "marquise" ring was one of the most popular ring shapes of those years. The ring face is set with around one carat of old-cut diamonds, which are placed close together. The focal point is a pink-red natural ruby from Burma, the colour of which harmonizes with the warm gold of the ring band. The stone is untreated and not heated: a real little gem! As its hallmark shows, the ring was created in Germany - but it would also have been a welcome accessory in other countries of the western world, as an almost international fashion united the haute society of the Belle Époque.
