In the years between the two world wars, Paris was once again regarded as an important center of cultural innovation. During this turbulent period, the Art Deco style developed and the French capital became its stage. This was particularly evident at the "Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes" in 1925. Over 15,000 exhibitors from all over the world presented their works around the Grand Palais, the Petit Palais and the Esplanade des Invalides, making the new style tangible. The clear lines and powerful forms of this style quickly spread around the world. While New York set standards, especially in the field of architecture, Paris remained the center of art, design and jewellery. The ring shown here was created in Paris in the 1920s and is a wonderful example of the Art Deco style. It combines the cool glow of platinum and diamonds with the rich blue of natural sapphires. A large sapphire of around 3.80 carats sits in the center of the oval ring face. It is surrounded by a ring of twelve white diamonds in individual old European cuts with a total weight of around 0.60 carats. An outer row of small, triangular sapphires fills the spaces between the diamond settings and completes the design. The ring face is made from platinum and is finely openworked on the underside. The ring band, on the other hand, is made of white gold - a material that had only been developed around ten years before the ring was created and was considered extremely modern at the time. The piece of jewellery is in excellent condition and impresses with its balanced design and the quality of the materials used. It came to us from Paris.
