During the Art Deco period, East Asia played a decisive role in the field of jewelry art. Almost all the great Art Deco jewelers were influenced by Asian works. Cartier developed a line with Chinese motifs that even set the style for the house's designs. At the same time, operas were created that were set in China, such as Puccini's Turandot or Lehár's operetta The Land of Smiles. This Ring from around 1930 shows the enthusiasm for China of those years in a wonderful way: In a setting of white gold and diamonds typical of the time, we see an octagonal element of carved jade in wonderful shades of green. It depicts the gourds that are so important in Chinese culture in rich splendor and symbolize long life. Three small diamonds add sparkling highlights. In ancient China, jade was known as the "heavenly stone" because it was said to have numerous properties, ranging from healing effects to protective functions. The extremely hard mineral was therefore used to make the most precious pieces of jewelry for the Chinese emperors. To this day, pieces of jewelry cut from jade are traditional gifts that are said to bring good luck to the recipient: Perhaps this ring will also look wonderful, and not just for a visit to the opera! We discovered the ring in Vienna. It was created in Europe around 1930, using a jade slab cut in China.
