The 1950s were characterized by petticoats, Elvis Presley and, of course, the economic miracle. The latter not only brought people new prosperity - it was also a time of social events, convivial soirées and dinner parties. This ring, which was designed to adorn the hand at cocktail hour, takes both developments into account. The combination of a large, colored gemstone with a voluminous gold setting is typical of those years. After the hardships of the war years, jewellery became larger, more colorful and shinier than ever before, and cocktail rings in particular gave free rein to this new desire for color and format. Amethyst, with its lilac color, was a popular gemstone in such rings, usually in combination with expansive settings in rich, shiny yellow gold. In contrast to the pre-war period, additional diamond setting was often dispensed with and the effect of the central gemstone was relied upon. The setting of this amethyst in a mixed oval cut is simple and effective. A shiny polished gold frame holds the clear stone and a wide, velvety hatched frame skillfully sets it off. When viewed from the side, the curved lower frame and the elegantly rounded rail create a beautiful sight. The ring was created in Germany around the middle of the century. A piece of jewellery that brings a little midcentury glamour into the present day!
