Large, sparkling rings, some of which covered an entire finger, were all the rage in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were called “dinner rings” because, at an elegant dinner, a lady would not wear gloves and could thus let the full splendor of her fingers, adorned with diamonds and jewels, shine. Moreover, the rings served no other purpose than to adorn: Unlike the many love and mourning rings of the 19th century, they were not designed as sentimental pieces of jewellery, but served the sole purpose of making their beautiful wearer appear even more beautiful. This ring has surely witnessed one or two elegant dinners—paired with a bias-cut silk dress, perhaps accessorized with the then-novel dress clip or a modern pair of long earrings to complement a bob hairstyle. Three brilliant-cut diamonds are set along the vertical axis. They are cut in the transitional style, which—like the ring’s platinum-and-white-gold construction—is typical of pieces of jewellery from the 1920s and 1930s. Delicately sawed-out arabesques and openwork details lend the ring a filigree-like lightness. The ring brings the timeless elegance of Art Deco into the present day. It was likely crafted in Germany.
