A creamy white pearl shimmers in the center of this ring. It is accompanied by four sparkling old-cut diamonds and elegantly curved arches of gold. Together, they create a charming interplay of warmth and cool brilliance. But it is not just the gemstones and metal that create the impression: small shadow spaces are created in the openworked sections of the ring, which enhance the brilliance of the stones and turn the design into a lively composition of light and dark. The ring was created in the 1930s, a time when aesthetic sensibilities were undergoing major changes. While early Art Deco still had a preference for strict white gold and cool geometry, the need for warmth and fullness was now growing. Yellow gold returned to jewelry design, and with it a new delight in ornament and detail. In Germany, there was also a sentimental memory of the Biedermeier period, which experienced a real renaissance in detailed forms. These trends are also reflected in this piece of jewellery. The goldsmith's work is richly decorated, but at the same time light and flexible in its expression. Finely curved rocailles and forms reminiscent of floral motifs draw on historical styles such as Rococo and Biedermeier, but not in the sense of mere imitation; rather, they are reinterpreted in a way that combines tradition and modernity. This ring is a fascinating companion that still surprises every time you look at it. It found its way to us here in Berlin and has a large ring width, which we are happy to adjust.
