"Our childhood was weighed down by a paralyzing overabundance of things, not a single one of which could make us happy..." In retrospect, Henry van de Velde was full of weariness when he summed up his discomfort with the art of the late 19th century, which was oriented towards the rich ornamentation of the past. Together with other artists of his generation, he therefore searched for new forms, for simple, reduced beauty - and thus decisively shaped Art Nouveau. Dynamic lines, never decidedly figurative but at best vegetal in appearance, were particularly popular in Germany and Austria. This ring also reflects this modern style of the still young century. The large ring face is airily open-worked and presents seven old-cut diamonds. While the lower band is made of gold, the front is set with light silver. This gives the ring an ethereal white glow. The simple ring band made of high-carat gold was renewed once in the past. This means that the piece of jewelry can be worn again today without any problems.
