Rococo, the courtly world of elegance and luxury, not only radiated out from France into the world at the end of the 18th century. Even after the end of the Ancien Régime during the French Revolution, this formal language of lightness and refined taste continued to flourish. At the end of the 19th century, for example, Sisi and Franz Joseph's rooms in the Hofburg in Vienna were decorated in the Rococo style; an apartment was also built for the same empress in Venice. The k.u.k. Empire saw itself as the new empire of a Sun King. In the 1920s, the world finally experienced a renewed enthusiasm for Rococo. While Art Deco began to celebrate its success, interiors and accessories in this style were once again created in the USA as well as in Europe. This cheerful and playful design language was particularly suitable for ladies' bedrooms, garden pavilions and elegant banqueting halls and was widely used. This ring exudes precisely this light and carefree mood. The centerpiece is a sapphire in the colour of an eternally cloudless sky. Two small diamonds accompany it on the right and left like radiant, never-wilting flowers. The diamonds themselves were probably cut in the middle of the 19th century and appear almost archaic in their shape. A fine gold ring band completes the arrangement. It is clearly based on historical rococo models. The openwork design with flower shapes, which are held together by curved C shapes, is characteristic. The hallmarking on the ring shows that it was made in Germany and after 1888. Together with the details of the workmanship, we date the piece of jewellery to around 1920.
