Every era, every style and every fashion has its own preferences when it comes to colours and materials. The 19th century loved yellow gold and intensely colored stones, the Belle Époque shone in the white light of diamonds. In Art Deco, different coloured stones, usually as solitaires, were set in platinum. Primary colours are often chosen here. And we now encounter one stone particularly frequently, which had previously been seen less frequently: the star sapphire. In the wild era of Art Deco, "The sky is the limit!" was probably quite literally the motto. And so a truly heavenly phenomenon shines in this ring. In a powerful frame of platinum and sparkling diamonds, it presents a wonderful sapphire from Ceylon in bright sky blue - a color reminiscent of a summer sky or a view of cosmic clouds. The large, high cabochon weighs around 27.40 ct. It is translucent, i.e. neither transparent nor opaque, and the light glides through it as if through a light blue mist. Here and there, delicate natural inclusions light up like mysterious apparitions, sometimes white, sometimes more intense blue. But not all the light shines deep into the stone. Some of it remains on its surface, where it creates a delicate star. This effect, known as "asterism", is created by orientated inclusions of the finest crystal needles. In fact, this star further enhances the cosmic impression of the piece of jewellery. The cool, elegant impression of the ring and the cut of the diamonds allow us to date the ring to the first decades of the 20th century. An independent expert opinion on the materials and the treatment and origin of the sapphire is included with the ring.
