In 1957, the Congress Hall, now the House of World Cultures, opened in Berlin as a gift from the American people. Architect Hugh Stubbins designed an unusual concrete roof whose curved shape earned it the affectionate nickname "pregnant oyster" among Berliners. We were reminded of the building by the vintage ring here, as the jewellery appears similarly expressively shaped. The ring is made of yellow gold and presents itself in a transverse shape that is still very much in the tradition of late Art Deco. The ring face widens and presents a white gold center field framed by fanned out golden bars. Here glitter nine graduated beautiful diamonds in brilliant and octagonal cut. The ring has a pronounced presence due to its size and high structure. At the same time, the ring, which found its way to us from Cologne, is very beautifully preserved and an unusual contemporary testimony of the 1950s.
