"Shocking Pink" was the name Elsa Schiaparelli gave to the hue she made fashionable in the 1930s: a bright, strong pink that had nothing sweet about it, nothing in common with the delicate tones of the turn of the century. Just like the emancipated type of woman of the Déco era, shocking pink was self-confident and modern. It adorned Schiaparelli's cigarette holders and her perfume, and as late as 1952 she dressed Zsa Zsa Gabor in shocking pink for the film Moulin Rouge. This ring was created around the same time as Schiaparelli's idea. A luminous tourmaline is its main adornment, accompanied by fine diamonds of different cuts. A layer of rhodium on top of the ring makes the golden ring appear white and emphasizes the effect of the stone's colour. Art Deco ornaments typical of the period, consisting of squares and semicircles with milgrains and fine shadow gaps, round off the composition. When the ring came to us, it had lost its center stone. In view of the time of its creation, we thought it appropriate to add the bright pink tourmaline. The fact that the tourmaline is cabochon-cut is a modern idea. However, the cool, exciting colors of the ring are Art Deco through and through. We discovered the ring in Amsterdam. The tourmaline was cut to fit the ring in Idar-Oberstein and set into the ring. The ring was probably made in Germany. Unfortunately, it does not bear any hallmarks that would provide more precise information.
