It's loud and fast: traffic rushes across Potsdamer Platz in the slowly fading evening light. The traffic lights in the middle of the square, the first traffic lights in Germany, turn red - the waiting people stream across the streets, past the waiting cars, laughing, running, jostling, and filling the many large bars and restaurants around them. The neon signs on the buildings begin to glow, a jazz band plays from afar. Berlin in the first decades of the 20th century was a cosmopolitan city, for a brief moment a melting pot of cultures. In the midst of this hustle and bustle, in the midst of a changing society and new inventions, a new fashion in the field of jewellery also emerged. All of a sudden, the whole of Europe was looking for something new, free from the baggage of history. Geometric shapes, clear colors, preferably white: jewellery should glow in the night like the new electricity that was being introduced everywhere. It should be luxurious, like a life just freed from the hardships of the crisis. And simple, without worries. We are looking at an exemplary jewel of those years - and it impresses with the clear, impressive modernity of its design. A sparkling diamond weighing 0.22 carats shines in the center of the ring, surrounded by a bezel setting. Midnight blue sapphires, cut into triangles and set next to diamond roses on the rectangular ring face, create an expressive effect. These are synthetic Verneuil sapphires, a minor sensation at the time. Sawed openings enliven the ring with shadow gaps that play with the incident light and give the fine piece of jewelry additional structure. An Art Deco ring that could hardly be more characteristic!
