Glamorous "retro" Ring Made of Platinum & Diamonds, 1940s

This precious and magnificent late Art Déco ring makes a glamorous impression. The design presents a stylized bow shape made of white light that rises voluminously and boldly across the finger. The sparkle of the approximately 1.65 carats of diamonds in various historical cuts and the cool shine of the platinum surfaces are pleasing to the eye. The ring shows the design language of the style also known as "retro style". After enjoying finely chiseled geometric patterns, the designers of this period increasingly turned to more powerful, more physical forms. Polished metal surfaces, such as on the sides of the ring, suddenly became fashionable where fine engravings had previously dominated the scene. Buckles, bands, knots and loops were now particularly popular, as is the case with this ring, which is reminiscent of a clasp or loop. It may be a coincidence that this shift away from the finer, more ethereal shapes of early Art Deco coincided with the Wall Street stock market crash of 1929 - but perhaps this new style offered the promise of stability in a time that had suddenly become uncertain. The ring is forged by hand and brings together a total of 23 diamonds that were cut at very different times. This suggests that the ring was created in the 1940s, when goldsmiths had little new high-quality material at their disposal and therefore often reworked old pieces of jewelry. We discovered this beautifully preserved ring here in Berlin.

When we think of Art Deco, the wild 1920s with their graphic patterns and acute-angled geometries usually come to mind. But as time progressed, the forms of jewellery also changed. The two-dimensional, graphic designs became much more physical and sculptural from the 1930s onwards and a new form of Art Deco emerged, which is also known as "retro style" in English-speaking countries - and which remained popular until the 1950s.
