Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
This delicate ring was crafted around 1890. Middle-class prosperity, industrialization, and technological progress went hand in hand with a pronounced fondness for precious jewellery. Never before had even the jewelry box of a middle-class lady been so well-stocked. In the US world, this period is therefore known as “The Gilded Age,” and in Europe as “La Belle Époque.” The ring is crafted from reddish gold and features finely engraved shanks. Its centerpiece is an oval-faceted amethyst, securely held in place by delicate prongs. The amethyst is surrounded by natural pearls, whose soft luster creates a charming contrast to the gemstone’s vibrant violet hue. To this day, this piece of jewellery tells the story of an era that cherished splendor and beauty. This antique ring found its way to us here in Berlin.
