There are jewels where the setting takes a back seat in favor of the effect of luxurious stones. This is the case here in a very special way: three cushion-shaped old-cut diamonds totaling around 1.55 ct are set in a surface of blue sapphires, seemingly floating in the air. The hand-cut dark blue sapphires surround the three diamonds like a single surface of dark blue brilliance. The sapphires were processed using the so-called calibré cut, which means that their dimensions were individually calculated in order to cover the oval ring face in such a way that not a millimeter of the background, not even a setting, is visible. This technique is so labor-intensive and complicated that it is rarely used today. A delicate frame surrounds the sapphire surface and closes off the large, flat ring face on the outside. But the diamonds themselves are also extremely exciting: their cut goes back even further than the time when the ring was created. In Art Deco, people were looking for new, modern shapes that had never been seen before. But what happened to the older pieces that were considered old-fashioned during this fundamental change in jewellery fashions? They were often melted down and the precious gemstones were set in modern jewelry. This also explains why the three large diamonds have a cushion-shaped 19th century cut and a delicate hue, which is characteristic of diamonds used at that time. All the gemstones are set in platinum - a material that was considerably more expensive than gold at the time and whose preciousness only does justice to the design. We were able to discover the unusual ring in Zurich. It comes with an independent appraisal.
