The First World War was such a turning point in many respects that it also fundamentally changed the way people wore jewellery. Whereas previously people often wore a collection of different pieces with sentimental connotations, they now chose a few, high-quality pieces of jewelry primarily based on whether they matched their wardrobe. This particularly affected rings as pieces of jewellery, which had often been charged with meaning since time immemorial. In the Art Deco era, the dress ring or dinner ring celebrated its heyday. Its function was purely aesthetic. In 1929, Harper's Bazaar wrote: "It is no longer seen that two or three rings are worn on each finger. Elegant society wears a diamond band as a wedding ring and a large solitaire ring, usually a diamond, as an engagement ring, and then perhaps another dress ring to enhance the effect of the dress. The dress rings of our era mainly consist of one large colored gemstone each." The present ring dates from this period and has a bright green emerald from Colombia weighing approximately 0.35 ct in the center. The emerald is surrounded by a double band of historic rose cut diamonds. A platinum display side gives the ring face a white glow, while the actual ring is made of gold. This piece of jewellery from the 1920s is in very good condition and came to us here in Berlin. The ring was most likely created in Germany.
