Two lavender amethysts in a square carré cut and a shimmering pearl come together in the center of this ring from the 1930s to create a fine composition of color and shine. They are set in warm, radiant yellow gold, which was forged by hand and reflects the character of late German Art Deco in its powerful, voluminous design language. After the so-called white jewels made of platinum and diamonds had dominated the scene in the 1910s and 1920s, a new interest in gold and colored gemstones emerged in the 1930s. Yellow gold and rose gold returned to jewelry design, accompanied by stones that provided freshness and vibrancy with their intense colors. Our ring, created around 1935, picks up on this style congenially and enriches it with small gold granules that enliven the surface like tiny dots of light. Its shape across the finger makes it a self-confident piece of jewellery that is both decorative and elegant. It embodies the elegance of an era that brought a new sensuality to jewellery after the clean lines of Art Deco. Beautifully preserved, it tells of style, taste and a fine sense for unusual details today as it did then. The ring came to us here in Berlin.

The 1920s brought a completely new aesthetic to the world of jewellery with Art Déco. Clear geometries, luxurious materials and an unprecedented elegance characterized the designs of those years. Goldsmiths in Paris, London, Vienna and Berlin implemented the new style with great ingenuity, and soon the splendor of Art Deco radiated far beyond Europe and even overseas. But styles are never static. The longer Art Deco spread, the more its face changed. In the years after 1930, a new style emerged in Paris and the United States, which we know today as "late Art Deco". Across the Atlantic, it was given the name "Retro Jewellery". The designs became larger, stronger and more sculptural. Jewellery was no longer intended to appear fine and cool, but to develop body and presence. Fashion now favored the warm glow of yellow and red gold over the previously dominant platinum or white gold settings. Colored gemstones came to the fore and replaced pure diamond jewellery in popularity. Gold surfaces were fanned out into architectural forms reminiscent of cubist buildings, and pieces of jewellery became small sculptures that radiated the optimism and self-confidence of the era.
