Description

The fan is an accessory that was very popular in earlier eras but is now somewhat 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 shield ring, the ends of which sweep out in a fan shape, lending the otherwise reduced basic design a wonderful opulence. In the center of the ring are three diamonds weighing a total of around 0.60 ct, the cuts of which also confirm the dating of the ring to around 1930. To the left and right, the surface is decorated with a dynamic zigzag pattern of sawn openwork, giving the ring a beautiful interplay of light and shadow. The ring is made of solid platinum and 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.
