This elegant ring made of platinum, sapphire & diamonds is a wonderful testimony to the taste and style of Art Deco. The First World War was over, the economy began to take off and a whole new world of forms conquered art, architecture and craftsmanship. The historical models that had dominated the arts in the 19th century were discredited with the fall of the old societies. It was now the hour of the modern artists. The guidelines of the time were abstraction and geometry, and it is not without reason that many designs in the field of jewellery are now reminiscent of architecture in miniature. This ring, for example, steps up from the ring band to its showpiece, the wonderful sapphire. The two steps from the ring band are set with diamonds. The sapphire itself is designed in a step cut, with a large table that allows the wonderful color of the sapphire to come into its own. The ring is rather delicately designed. The sapphire of just over one carat is nevertheless of exceptionally good quality. Its color is intense but not too dark, the stone is very clear and, above all, it is untreated, i.e. not heated or otherwise artificially altered in its color or purity. Under the microscope, fine rutile inclusions in its interior, which look like threads of silk, show that it has not been heated. It most probably originates from Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. The classic contrast of blue and white evokes the colors of the night sky - fitting for a time that is still known today for its dazzling nightlife, bars and cabarets. We discovered the ring in Frankfurt am Main. It is in very good condition.
