Description

In the Art Déco era, a new basic shape for pieces of jewellery began its triumphal march: The shield, designed as an elongated hexagon or, as here, as a flared rectangle. It suited the preference of those years for graphic forms, for jewelry designs that presented their decoration two-dimensionally rather than sculpturally. Above all, however, the basic shape of the shield was perfectly suited to show off the filigree processing techniques of the time. A beautiful old-cut diamond weighing more than half a carat sparkles in the center of the ring face. A shadow gap running around its delicate bezel setting enhances the diamond even further. Ten small diamonds also adorn the ring face, alongside elegantly cut joints and sparkling milgrains. Thanks to its hallmark, the ring can be dated to around 1935. Created in Czechoslovakia between 1929 and 1949, this ring shows that the design language of Art Deco was not only implemented in the major metropolises such as Paris, Berlin or Vienna, but also in the smaller countries of the continent. The Art Deco style was particularly popular in Eastern Central Europe, and in the short interwar period, not only glamorous jewels of this style were created, but also crafts and architecture experienced a cultural heyday. For example, the Hotel Imperial in Prague, a wonderful example of the modern style, was built around the same time as our ring. The ring is made of white gold with a platinum cover, typical of the period. We were able to purchase it in Nuremberg.
