The "vegetable" ring type emerged in Germany around 1920 and countered the cool, graphic geometry of Art Deco with a warm, playful counterpart. This type of ring got its name from its decoration of tendrils and leaves, from which pearls and gemstones peek out like ripe fruit. Leaf ornaments also unfold on this imaginative ring, which we discovered in Lower Franconia. Embedded in the sculpturally designed leaves, we see a setting of five shining gemstones: a green tourmaline, a blue sapphire, two red rubies and an octagonal-cut diamond. The flowers and leaves are made of both yellow and rose gold: a typical stylistic feature of so-called retro jewellery, which helps us to date the piece of jewellery to around 1940. The ring lives from its exuberant, almost wildly proliferating filling, which is presented in a magnificent curvature of the openwork ring face. The gemstones shimmer like colorful fruits and flowers in a precious garden. Numerous pieces of jewellery of this kind can be found, for example, in Christiane Weber: Schmuck der 1920er und 1930er Jahre in Deutschland, Stuttgart 1990.
