"The aquamarine... has the glassy tint of the waves of the sea." Charles Blanc: Art in Ornament and Dress, New York 1877. Aquamarine is the blue variety of the mineral beryl, to which emerald also belongs. Its sometimes bluish sea-green, then again clear-blue color as well as its high clarity and brilliance led to the fact that it was associated with the sea from time immemorial. In fact, this also gave it its name, which derives from the Latin "aqua marina," sea water. Especially in the 1930s and 1940s, the blue gemstone advanced to become an undisputed favorite of the jewelry world. Not only did its cool color allow it to harmonize ideally with the icy designs of Art Deco, but fashion in those years demanded large gemstones - and although it is precious, aquamarine is far more commonly found in large crystals than, say, ruby or sapphire. The present ring of the years around 1940 comes up with a beautiful specimen of this particular gemstone. Like an oval window to the sea, it is set between pips and decorative elements of white gold. A total of six diamonds accompany the large center stone, giving the ring the cool elegance that Art Deco so prized. The aquamarine weighs about 15.50 ct and delights with an intense color and high clarity. The piece of jewelry, which found its way to us from Hamburg, is beautifully preserved and is a typical Art Deco cocktail ring.
