“Less is more!” declared Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to express the ideals of Modernism and the Bauhaus. Robert Venturi, the famous postmodern architect, rephrased this statement in his own way a good 60 years later: “Less is a bore”—in other words, “Less is boring”! And in doing so, he captured the aesthetic sensibility and formal ambition of the 1980s in a memorable slogan. This ring from the 1980s was created in that spirit—and it is a truly impressive piece of jewellery. A vividly colored, natural amethyst is featured in this ring with an unusual cut. It is triple-cut, with its upper surface shaped as a cabochon, while its pavilion features soft facets that converge at a single point in the center. The dome-shaped stone is surrounded by a band of 48 white single cut diamonds, with a total weight of approximately 0.96 ct. The ring band, tailored to the shape of the large gemstone, is crafted from high-karat yellow gold. The ring is handcrafted and bears a maker's mark on the inside of the ring band that has not yet been identified. The ring came to us here in Berlin.
