"The Veneralia (the ancient festival of Venus, the goddess of love) was celebrated annually amidst blossoming plants and flowers, in gardens and green meadows, in honor of Venus, who welcomed Adonis back from the underworld in all his radiant beauty. The ceremonies were held towards the end of April, when the sun was in the sign of Venus and Taurus, and they have survived in later May customs. The jewel associated with these ceremonies had to be green (...). The emerald was a sacred stone of this season." - Isidore Kozminsky, The Magic & Science of Jewels and Stones, New York 1922, p. 23. A green emerald forms the main setting of this ring. It is set in a navette-shaped ring face, which is set with ten old-cut white diamonds. On the left and right, two small diamond roses lead to the narrow ring band. Platinum gives the diamond settings a white glow, while the base and the ring band are made of yellow gold. The ring was probably made in Wilhelm Haußmann's workshop in Pforzheim around 1910. It is in very good condition. We discovered it in Frankfurt am Main.
