When Truman Capote invited guests to the "Black and White Ball" in 1966, it was clear - even before the doors of the Plaza Hotel in New York had opened to the invited guests - that this would be the social event of the year. Not because of the 450 bottles of Tattinger champagne that would be opened that evening, but above all because of the idea of designing the entire evening in white and black. From the guests' dresses to the decorations, the famous author's unconditional determination to create a unique and particularly extraordinary impression. However, the idea of choosing these two non-colors as the theme of the party was nothing new: the Art Deco of the 1920s had already elevated white and its counterpart to a frequently used theme for jewellery, wardrobe and decoration. This ring from around 1925 is a particularly beautiful example of this. The ring was developed from the basic shape of a rectangular shield. Executed in white gold, a new material at the time, the goldsmith was able to present a design of particular delicacy. An old-cut diamond of around 0.15 ct is set in the center of the design and makes the surface sparkle together with twelve small rose cut diamonds. Two cut onyxes, reflecting deep black and forming a wonderfully exciting color contrast to the bright white of the metal and the diamonds, are set in two bars next to the diamonds. The black and white theme alone becomes visible as soon as the ring is presented on the finger. The piece thus meets all the requirements of a special favorite piece of jewelry: luxury through the first-class fittings, modernity through the design and the joy of the perfect shape, which is supported here by first-class craftsmanship. A dreamlike piece in a beautiful, not too large size, elegant and easy to wear. We discovered the ring here in Berlin.
