In the Art Deco era, a new form for jewelry began its triumphal march: the flat shield, designed as a basic geometric shape and called the "plaque". It met the preference of the time for graphic forms, for jewelry designs that presented their decoration two-dimensionally instead of sculpturally. Above all, however, this form of jewelry was perfectly suited to show off the filigree processing techniques of the time. The non-color white was best suited to this, as it receded visually and allowed the fine workmanship and brilliance of the diamonds to take precedence. This ring is an example of this type. It has two large diamonds of around 0.50 carats in the center, each surrounded by a so-called shadow gap, making the diamonds appear to float almost freely. A frame of further octagonal-cut diamonds unfolds around the ring, which is structured by the strict yet rhythmic arrangement of millegrains. A total of around 1.58 ct of diamonds are set. The ring has a platinum cover in which the diamond settings are also set. The lower band and the ring band, on the other hand, are made of white gold. With its cool materials and graphic design language, this beautiful ring is a typical Art Deco piece from the Weimar Republic period. The use of diamonds in various cuts, some of which are certainly older than the ring itself, is also a typical feature of the period: in economically uncertain times, people often used pieces of jewelry from their families to create modern, new pieces of jewelry with the historic gemstones. The ring is in very good condition and came to us from Bonn.
