Aquamarines were rarely found in 19th century jewellery, but with the beginning of the 20th century, they became increasingly common in European jewelry. Newly developed deposits in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais had produced aquamarines of beautiful quality, which made a new wave of fashion around this gemstone possible in Europe. On the one hand, the light blue variety of beryl complemented the cool, elegant fashion of the 1920s and its strict geometry - on the other hand, it was characterized by its ability to shine particularly intensely in electric light. The latter property in particular was often praised in the specialist literature of the time: "Aquamarine and other bright varieties of beryl are stones which lose none of their brilliance at night," wrote Arthur Herbert Church, and "All beryls are very brilliant in artificial light and therefore desirable stones for the evening," added Helen Bartlett Bridgman. This ring was also designed for the electric light, for the evening. Because the evening jewellery was characterized by a cool white look in platinum and white gold as well as diamond setting, which came into their own in the illuminated night. At the center of the design is an aquamarine weighing 5.20 ct, whose oval star cut beautifully accentuates its colour. A ring of twenty-six diamonds forms a sparkling stage for the precious stone. They are set in platinum and the ring shoulders are also covered in platinum, so that the ring appears bright and light when worn. The airy gallery and the delicate ring band, on the other hand, are made of yellow gold, which nevertheless gives the ring a certain warmth. We received the ring in very good condition here in Berlin. It comes with a detailed appraisal.
