Today it is rather rare for goldsmiths to combine metals of different colors in one piece of jewelry. In the 19th century, however, this was quite common. Towards the middle of the century, for example, pieces were created that achieved naturalistic colorfulness in the reproduction of flowers and plants through the simultaneous use of different gold alloys. Then, by the end of the century, jewellery was usually made of yellow or rose gold and given a silver or platinum face: Thus, the jewellery appeared white from the front, but yellow or reddish from the side. The ring here from around 1920 combines rose gold, platinum and white gold, creating a rich impression. Its center is occupied by an old-cut diamond. Weighing around 0.68 ct, the stone glows warm white and shows natural inclusions, though these do not dim its brilliance: The stone has a beautiful fire. The stone is set in a hexagonal setting of platinum on white gold. Platinum was very expensive after the Russian Revolution, so it was used sparingly. Making the base out of white gold saved material here, while preserving the bright, white impression of the centerpiece. The ring band, on the other hand, is made of rose gold. It shines warmly and forms a beautiful counterpoint to the showpiece in white. Its design is reduced and classic, delicate and elegant, and at the same time the diamond has a beautiful quality: a ring for every day.
