In the history of jewelry, rings set with aquamarines first appeared regularly during the Art Deco period. Earlier eras had not given this stone the attention it deserved. It was not until the 1920s—those years of new beginnings, which also saw the discovery of entirely new forms and materials in the world of jewellery—that aquamarine came into the spotlight to a greater extent: and designs such as this ring were created. The fashion of those years favored designs in platinum or white gold, featuring geometric, bold shapes and, to complement them, large gemstones in vibrant colours. Aquamarine, which is regularly found in significantly larger crystals than, for example, sapphire or ruby, was a natural choice here. In addition, major new deposits of aquamarine had been discovered in Brazil around the turn of the century, and these stones were now reaching Europe in increasing numbers. The ring presented here, crafted from high-karat white gold with a platinum front, features one such vibrant aquamarine. The stone is faceted into a rectangular shape and is held in place by a delicate platinum bezel. Sparkling diamonds, also set in platinum, accompany the aquamarine. The ring is designed as an elongated oval that covers nearly an entire finger joint. On either side, four smaller diamonds each connect to the ring band. The design exudes a cool, geometric aesthetic that is quite typical of jewellery from the heyday of Art Deco. We discovered the ring in Bavaria. It was crafted around 1930, likely in Germany, and was more recently plated with rhodium.
