The type of platinum ring with a large, flat ring face emerged towards the end of the Belle Époque and then came into full bloom during the Art Deco period of the 1920s. This shield shape - whether round-oval or cartouche-shaped - suited the era's preference for jewelry designs whose surfaces seemed to dissolve completely in white light. The basic shape of the shield was also perfectly suited to show off the filigree processing techniques of the time. This ring is also based on an elongated, oval shape with a transitional-cut diamond of around 0.25 ct in the center. Fine shadow gaps structure the oval surface with C-sweeps, which are set with six further diamonds. While the ring is actually made of yellow gold, the ring face is platinum-plated, giving the ring a uniform white glow. The use of platinum on gold had technical (and price) reasons; platinum had not been used in jewelry production for so long and presented goldsmiths with major technical challenges. For this reason, yellow gold was still used and a stable platinum display side was added instead of making the entire piece of jewellery from this expensive metal. The shape and workmanship of the ring suggest that it was created around 1925. The ring came to us from Hamburg.
