Black and white, brilliance and shadow, day and night: the contrasts that describe the exciting decade of Art Deco are still fascinating today. The late 1920s were characterized by social and economic tensions: by great new wealth, by previously unseen pleasures such as the cinema, but also by all-changing developments such as the spread of the automobile. It is no wonder that a new fashion emerged during this time, which wanted to break with the status quo just as radically. Art Deco was internationally dazzlingly bright in the brilliance of its diamonds and modern in its hard graphic forms. This ring is a fine example of this. Three transitional-cut diamonds are arranged in a vertical row. They lie on a slightly curved ring face, which is given additional sparkle by six small diamond roses. Around the stones, which together weigh around 0.12 ct, the design expands into an elongated plaque shape with slightly curved sides. Delicately sawn shadow gaps in combination with the finest milgrains determine the design of the metal surfaces, creating a wonderful interplay of light and shadow. The combination of metals is also typical of the time, as a fine layer of platinum has been applied to the base metal of white gold for the diamond settings. This procedure can only be found in pieces of jewellery from the early 20th century, as the early white gold - patented in 1913 - was often still slightly yellowish. This yellow tint is only visible here under a magnifying glass. With its emphasis on geometry and the joy of light, the piece corresponds to the fashion of Art Deco. Its fine craftsmanship also allows us to date it securely to this period.
