Imperial jewels, diamonds weighing dozens of carats and natural pearls of the same weight lie behind steel and glass in museums today, as silent witnesses to a bygone era. Yet it was not these pieces that once shaped the image of eras far removed from us today: it was the smaller, wearable but no less beautifully crafted jewels, perhaps the kind that people admired in shop windows for a long time before wishing for them on a special day, or that people saved up for a long time to finally adore their beloved. These necklaces, rings and bracelets were loved and worn. But these are not the pieces you can admire in museums to get an impression of the jewellery of an era. With wise foresight, the Deutsche Goldschmiede-Zeitung asked in 1904, "Where else but in private ownership are the living witnesses of the beauty of our time and its aspirations to be preserved?" (DGZ 1904, P. 154). The present ring is just such a piece. The dainty piece is simple and wearable and yet shows in detail all the charm of the jewellery of the time. The ring face is covered in platinum and gleams in white. Fine millegrains divide the diamond into a total of nine fields. A small diamond sparkles in each one. A narrow golden ring band follows. The ring is in very good condition and we discovered it in London, where it was probably made. A small, wearable souvenir from the years around 1910.
