Vienna experienced a special cultural flourishing in the second half of the 19th century. As early as 1870, the population exceeded the one-million mark and the city was fundamentally redesigned and modernized in terms of urban planning. The metropolis on the Danube was one of the decisive European centers of art and culture. The capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was populated by a wealthy bourgeoisie that loved balls and social events and valued art and beautiful things. A first-class jewellery wardrobe was the "must have" of the ladies of the time. Therefore it is not surprising that the jewellery from the Vienna of those years is often decidedly splendid. The marquise ring presented here comes from this era of beauty and splendour. The large ring face is set with fifty old cut diamonds surrounding a natural emerald. Along with the starry white sparkle of the diamonds, the fiery green of the emerald stands out beautifully.The total weight of the beautiful old cut diamonds is about 2.58 carats. The ring band and gallery are made of gold, and the stones are all set à jour in silver so that as much light as possible reaches them. The ring was made in the last years of the 19th century and is in very good condition. It is worked flat so that it wears comfortably despite its size. The magnificent ring found its way to us from Vienna, where it was probably made.
