At the beginning of the 20th century, after a period in which luxurious pieces of jewelry were preferably set with white diamonds, intensely colored gemstones came into fashion. A report on the jewelry exhibition at the Leipzig Spring Fair in 1924 confirms this: "Aquamarines, amethysts, tourmalines, opals and even topazes are now preferred as trimmings for rings" - the aim was therefore to captivate the public with strong colors. This ring is still part of this tradition. It is a handmade piece from the mature Art Deco period, crafted from white gold and set with diamonds and a wonderful natural tourmaline. The green tourmaline, a so-called verdelite weighing 10.55 ct, is shaped in an octagonal scissor cut and shines deep and clear. Its color alternates between a warm yellow-green and a cool blue-green. It is precisely this play of colors that makes the stone so appealing. The setting gently lifts the tourmaline over the finger. The smaller diamonds on the right and left add beautiful flashes of light to the ring shoulders accentuated with white gold rings. According to the hallmark, the piece of jewelry was made in Vienna, from where it found its way to us. An independent expert opinion on the materials is enclosed with the ring. The report on the fair can be found in The Jeweler's Circular, May 1924, p. 65.
