Originally, “Bossa Nova” was the name of a movement that emerged in Brazil in the late 1950s and reached its peak there by the end of the 1960s. In a very modern social climate, the educated middle class experimented with new forms and modes of expression in music and film. This wave, with its light and lively music, quickly spread to Europe as well. The ring presented here dates from those years. The large, dome-shaped ring face is constructed as a dense network of gold wires, reminiscent of woven wicker. At its center sparkles a white diamond, framed by four red rubies and three green tourmalines. Their vibrant play of colours, combined with the luster of the high-karat gold, lends the design a summery freshness. According to the hallmark, the ring is the work of the goldsmiths Simeoni Fratelli di Simeoni Igino from Valenza in northern Italy. But let’s leave the banks of the Po behind and let our imaginations wander to Copacabana. In our minds’ eye, we see elegant ladies with beehive hairstyles, dressed in colorful gowns alongside gentlemen in elegant tuxedos, surrounded by Oscar Niemeyer’s architecture. The high-quality materials and craftsmanship are just as impressive today as they were on the first day. A little piece of summer, even on gloomy days.
