At the center of this ring are seven natural rubies in a deep, fiery red. A large, antique-cut stone forms the centerpiece, while six smaller ruby drops accompany it and frame it like petals. Six large diamond roses are grouped around this arrangement, giving the ring a rich, magnificent appearance. The diamonds are set in silver, while the rest of the ring is made from warm, shiny yellow gold. The warm glow of the gold harmonizes with the cool shine of the silver to create a composition reminiscent of the interplay of sun and sea. Fine engravings on the surface of the ring band and the elaborately ornamental sawn undercut give the piece of jewellery additional depth and movement. The ring was made in the city of Caserta near Naples, as a small hallmark on the inside of the ring band reveals. In Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Spain and Portugal, the jewelry forms and processing techniques of the 19th century never really disappeared. They experienced a remarkable renaissance for the first time after the Second World War, and then again from the 1970s onwards. This ring, which was probably created around 1980, also makes deliberate reference to the forms of the Belle Époque, the "beautiful era" before the upheavals of the two wars. The piece of jewellery thus combines historical echoes with Mediterranean joie de vivre. Impressive in its appearance, the ring brings a piece of Italian elegance into everyday life. It came to us from Madrid.
