An unusual form of jewellery enjoyed great popularity in the early to mid-20th century: what is now known as "vegetable" jewellery. This type of jewellery got its name from its decoration with tendrils, flowers and leaves, from which pearls and gemstones peek out like ripe fruit. This makes "vegetable" jewellery look like small gardens, made from precious materials in miniature format. This style had its origins in the leaf ornaments of the expressive Art Nouveau designs of the Wiener Werkstätten and Theodor Fahrner, which had evolved into vegetable jewelry. It is therefore not surprising that jewellery in this style was mainly created in Germany and Austria. This ring transports us to a golden garden. The influences of Expressionism can be clearly seen in the playful composition of the flowers and their leaves. A blue flower with a synthetic sapphire created using the Verneuil process - all the rage at the time - blooms at the top of the oval ring face. Underneath, a champagne-coloured old European cut diamond sparkles as a blossom and two smaller white diamonds as buds. Different-coloured gold emphasizes the leaves and styles of the plants against the marbled background of the design. Some other pieces of jewellery of this genre can be found, for example, in Christianne Weber: Schmuckel der 1920er und 1930er Jahre in Deutschland, Stuttgart 1990.
