This ring in warm yellow gold sets a high-quality amethyst in a delicate bezel setting. The stone of just over five carats is uniformly lilac-colored, clear and has beautiful light reflections inside thanks to its very symmetrical cut. The gold setting lifts the stone high above the finger. Wide, staggered arches of gold connect to the ring shank and frame the stone. The openwork undercuts, whose shapes oscillate somewhere between geometric abstraction and plant models, are typical of jewellery from the so-called "retro style" of the late 1930s to 1950s. The style does not have its own name in German, but its forms were also very present here. The ring comes from the traditional Pforzheim manufactory of Alfons Grupp, which had been producing high-quality jewellery since 1887. A glance at a contemporary catalog shows the context in which this ring was also created: in addition to diamonds, it was above all intensely colored gemstones that determined the fashion: in addition to amethysts, citrines, here called "Madeira topaz", and green tourmalines. The ring is an exceptionally beautiful, perfectly preserved little jewel. The quality of the materials corresponds to that of the design.
