The fan is an accessory that was very popular in earlier eras but is now somewhat out of fashion. As early as the Rococo period, elegant ladies of the court used fans as a means of non-verbal communication. In the luxury-loving years of Art Deco, the fan was not least a popular tool for making jewels shine. On Valentine's Day 1929, for example, the Jewelers' Circular reported: "The most indicative feature of the season as regards evening wear is the popularity of the fan. If the fan is to be used, the fingers must be covered with rings, while the arms must be covered with bracelets, the fan being a means of showing off these ornaments." On such an evening, glittering on a hand holding a fan, the ring shown here may also have been worn. It is designed in the reduced geometric, almost architectural style of its time and holds a large emerald in the center. It bears no clear mark of origin, but is a wonderfully radiant green with a luminous transparency. Two large, very brilliant old-cut diamonds are set in a vertical row with it. Together, they weigh around 0.88 ct. Another quarter-carat diamond sets the surface, which is divided into sparkling struts that become narrower towards the ends and transition to a fine, engraved ring band above an ornamental gallery. The ring is made entirely of platinum and is in very good condition. A beautiful, decorative original from the years of jazz and cabaret. The quotation from The Jewelers' Circular, Vol. 98 (February 14, 1929), p. 41.
