In the midst of an ever faster changing world, the artists and craftsmen of Art Deco were looking for a new formal language that could do justice to modernity. They consciously turned away from Art Nouveau, whose forms seemed too sweet and transfigured to them, and instead strove for geometric rigor - the only form of expression that seemed appropriate for the age of automobiles, skyscrapers and express trains. The present ring also has a clear geometric design. A dark blue, untreated sapphire weighing around 1.75 ct rests in a simple bezel setting. It is flanked on either side by two diamonds in unusual carré cuts weighing a total of around 0.60 ct and white in color. The steeply set shoulders of the ring band blend harmoniously into the strict geometry of the ring face. Only when viewed from the side does a surprising detail reveal itself: invisible to the distant observer, delicate arches structure the lower edge of the ring, much to the delight of the wearer. The clear, geometric shape and the characteristic workmanship allow us to date the ring to the late Art Deco period. We discovered this very well-preserved and elegant piece of jewelry in London; according to its hallmark, it was also made in Great Britain. The ring is supplied with a detailed appraisal.
