Description

The 1950s were characterized by a stormy economic upturn in most Western European countries and brought an unprecedented increase in prosperity and quality of life. After the hardships of the war years, the store windows shone with a new luxury. Jewellery and watches played a special role in this, as they made the regained joie de vivre visible to the outside world. Stylistically, the jewellery of this period was often based on late Art Deco, as it had been developed since the late 1930s and continued to shape the designs of the major goldsmiths, especially in the USA and France. Rich decoration, clear geometric shapes and the intense sparkle of high-quality gemstones defined the look. The ring presented here is a characteristic example of this. Covering almost an entire finger phalanx, the ring face presents a light blue aquamarine weighing around 7.40 carats in its center. Its openwork setting in yellow gold is curved and voluminous and reflects the optimistic design language of the late 1950s. Large pieces of jewellery that attracted attention were particularly popular at the time. Accordingly, rings with eye-catching colored stones, such as this piece, enjoyed unprecedented popularity. It is a stylish piece of jewellery from the post-war period. The ring was most likely made in Germany, even though it bears no hallmarks that would clearly prove this.
