The 1920s brought a new style to the world of jewellery with Art Deco: geometric abstractions, luxurious materials and luxurious furnishings were sought after and supplied by goldsmiths in Paris, London and Vienna as well as their counterparts in Berlin and overseas. The longer and wider the style spread, the more the forms evolved. In the years after 1930, a special variety of late Art Deco emerged, also called "Retro Style". The forms became stronger, more physical, and the jewellery once again more splendid. Fashion now preferred pieces of jewelry made of yellow or red gold to those made of platinum or white gold, with the surfaces of the gold being geometrically conceived and sometimes appearing like cubist sculptures. The diamond ring here, dating from around 1940, speaks this formal language. Four fine diamonds - whose cut reveals that they were cut as early as the 19th century and used here in secondary applications - sparkle as a setting in the center of the design. They are set on a curved element that spans the ring face like a bridge. Placed crosswise to the finger, the ring appears compact, yet at the same time it appears charged with tension due to openings at the sides. An expressive piece that found its way to us here in Berlin.
