Large, magnificent rings that covered an entire finger joint came into fashion at the beginning of the 20th century. They were soon dubbed “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. One such glamorous dinner ring is presented here. Its elongated centerpiece—vaguely reminiscent of a tortoise shell—is set with a total of more than one carat of historically cut diamonds and divided by delicate shadow lines. Together with sparkling milgrains, these elements lend the design an ethereal lightness. This effect is enhanced by the platinum with which the gold ring is plated on the visible side. It ensures that the ring has a radiant white appearance that extends across the ring face and the ring shoulders. We would love to know what this ring, created around 1925, once witnessed. As a silent witness to a world now gone, it still tells the story of the turbulent interwar years.
