With the spread of electric light at the end of the 19th century, the ballrooms were suddenly filled with dazzling brightness. No more flickering candlelight or yellowish gaslight, but the white glow of hundreds of lamps made the ladies' jewellery shine and sparkle like never before. As a result, white platinum jewels set with diamonds conquered the hearts of ladies and the shop windows of jewelers. "White is the watchword today, white is fashion," said the Leipzig Watchmaker's Newspaper in 1912 about the current jewellery fashions. This ring is a small, delicate representative of this fashion. It is made of gold with a thin layer of platinum on the front - as was customary at the time, as the price of solid platinum was exorbitant. A round old-cut diamond sparkles in the center of the ring. It is surrounded by a narrow frame, on the sides of which a total of six diamonds have been composed into geometric groups. The delicate ring came to us from Cologne. Its fine but minimalist design captures the modern spirit of the years c. 1910 wonderfully and shows the basis on which the Art Déco of the following decades was able to take root.
