Berlin in the days of the German Empire. Imagine a busy street on which the new electric streetcars glide squeakily along their metal rails. Elegant gentlemen stride quickly past the shop window displays. Every now and then a lady approaches with clacking heels, fashionably dressed in a long, narrow day suit, wearing gloves and a large hat with her hair pinned up. On quieter days, the strollers can hear the splashing of the water in the Spree Canal with its nearby lock. Here, on the Gertrauden Bridge, there is an imposing neo-Gothic house, behind which a church tower stretches up into the blue sky and chimes on the hour. It is the "Juwel-Palais" – the business premises of the former Berlin jeweller Wilhelm Müller, which can still be found in Gertraudenstraße today. This ring was also created for his range. Not one, but two selected old-cut diamonds shine side by side, equally next to each other. It is a typical so-called "toi-et-moi" ring, whose gemstones stand for the two lovers: Separate, yet connected, each recognizable in its own right and yet part of a greater whole. Typical of the time, the ring is crafted in platinum on gold. The ring shoulders also feature additional diamonds, so that only sparkling reflections of light can be seen when worn. Finely crafted settings, designed with restraint and featuring milgrains, place the gemstones at the forefront of the design. It is a celebration of light and lightness - the aesthetics that were particularly appreciated at the beginning of the 20th century.
