The fan is an accessory that was very popular in earlier eras but is now a little out of fashion. Even in the Rococo period, elegant court ladies used fans as a means of non-verbal communication. And in the luxury-loving years of Art Deco, the fan was a popular way to make your jewels shine! On Valentine's Day 1929, for example, the Jewelers' Circular reported: "The most indicative feature of the season as regards evening wear is the popularity of the fan. If the fan is to be used, the fingers must be covered with rings, while the arms must be covered with bracelets, the fan being a means of showing off these ornaments." On such an evening, with a hand clutching the fan and glittering in the electric light, the ring shown here may also have been made. It is designed as an elongated, multipass shield ring that is organized in a fan shape around an old-cut diamond. The surface of the ring is set with a total of 24 rose cut diamonds and features milgrains and sawn joints, giving the ring a beautiful interplay of light and shadow. The ring is made of gold with a platinum front and is in very good condition. A beautiful, decorative original from the years of jazz and cabaret. The quote from The Jewelers' Circular, Vol. 98 (February 14, 1929), p. 41.
