"As we all know, pearls are the magic word that makes every lady's heart beat faster, and pearls are increasingly pushing red-hot rubies, sparkling emeralds and even glittering diamonds into the background." This is what the reader could read in 1910 in the Deutsche Goldschmiede-Zeitung (Volume 45, 1910, p. 399). This ring from the same period illustrates this development wonderfully, because at the heart of its design is not a sparkling ruby or large diamond - but a large, natural oriental pearl. A wreath of ten old-cut diamonds frames the sea treasure like delicate petals, and their multifaceted sparkle is reflected in the soft luster of the large, genuine pearl. The stones are set à jour in platinum, which wonderfully enhances the radiance of the diamonds. Two smaller stones also set the ring shoulders and lead to the simple gold ring band. The ring was created before the invention of pearl cultivation, when the value of natural pearls equaled that of diamonds. Every saltwater pearl was retrieved from the sea by divers - and rarely was a pearl like this one found, large, symmetrical and with a cool, even lustre. No wonder it became the centerpiece of a true jewel. The ring combines the treasures of the sea with the treasures of the earth in a harmonious design.
