Aquamarines were rarely found in 19th century jewellery, but with the beginning of the 20th century, they became increasingly common in European jewellery. Newly developed deposits in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais had now produced aquamarines of beautiful quality, which made a new wave of fashion around this gemstone possible in Europe. On the one hand, the light blue variety of beryl complemented the cool, elegant fashion of the 1920s and its strict geometry - on the other hand, it was characterized by its ability to shine particularly intensely in electric light. This ring from around 1935 features an aquamarine in a medium blue tone and weighing around 5.60 carats. The aquamarine is oval faceted and shows a beautiful play of light on its numerous facets. The stone is presented in a sculptural setting with finely engraved C-sweeps. The setting shows the glamorous design language of late pre-war Art Déco. This late style is referred to in English-speaking countries as the "retro style" and is characterized by striking volumes and the use of yellow gold instead of the platinum or white gold preferred in the 1920s. In Germany, references to the formal language of the Biedermeier period are also frequently encountered during this period, which lends the jewellery a certain nostalgic note.
