Description

When we discovered this set in the Rhineland, it immediately put a smile on our faces. Even though we are actually dedicated to antique jewellery from the 19th and early 20th century, the bracelet, ring and brooch have such a warm, summery and cheerful vibe that we couldn't resist. It's the materials that tie the pieces of jewellery together. The ring, earrings and bracelet are richly set with brilliant-cut diamonds, rubies and softly shimmering Akoya pearls. All the stones are set in high-carat gold, mostly yellow gold, only the diamonds are always set in white gold. A total of around four carats of rubies and 2.96 ct of diamonds are set. The shapes of the pieces of jewellery differ minimally. The ring is designed as a domed dome, a shape that was particularly popular in the 1980s. Polished strips of yellow gold structure the surface and are arranged with a dynamic curve around the central pearl. The earrings also have a pearl in the middle, but here the gemstones are arranged in concentric rings rather than in central tracks, creating sparkling flowers. Finally, the bracelet incorporates both motifs: It is a sequence of concentric, round elements, each with a pearl in a frame of diamonds, as well as rectangular links bearing strips of rubies and diamonds. All pieces of jewellery are handmade and are certainly unique. They are in very good condition.

Jewellery from the 1980s is still fascinating today, as an often beautiful and always impressive testimony to a time of optimism and abundance: the oil crisis seemed to have been overcome, Wall Street was flourishing and a new image of women was emerging: self-confident and tough, asserting themselves in their careers and against men, successful, with broad shoulder pads and high heels, they adorned themselves with rings, necklaces and brooches in hitherto unfamiliar dimensions, with reflective surfaces of yellow gold and richly set with colored gemstones.
