This ring from the 1940s looks astonishingly modern. When we saw it, we couldn't help but think of the American TV series Knight Rider. In it, David Hasselhoff drove a black sports car, KITT, which had never-before-seen technology. The vehicle was able to communicate via a voice computer, with a pulsating red LED strip on the radiator area. What was still a dream of the future in 1982 and is already quite normal today seems to be anticipated by our Ring, at least visually: Because its design is strikingly reminiscent of the light strip in KITT. In jewellery, as in fashion, shapes and trends are subject to constant change. What was unfashionable one moment can be all the rage the next. This phenomenon can also be seen in the development of Art Deco. While cool platinum undisputedly dominated the world of jewelry in the 1920s and early 30s, colored gold experienced an astonishing comeback from 1935 onwards. In the course of so-called Retro Jewellery, the once delicate forms also became much more voluminous and gave the jewellery an expressive presence. This ring speaks the powerful design language of late Art Deco and translates its futuristic design into luxurious materials: It is made from high-carat gold. The stripes, reminiscent of LED strips, are set with shimmering gemstones. Six white diamonds in a platinum setting are set against six calibrated synthetic rubies in an exciting contrast. The perfectly crafted ring is also beautiful when viewed from the side. Here, the lattice-like, dissolved undercutting adds a nostalgic note to the ring, despite its modernity. The ring is a statement piece that is an unmissable eye-catcher with its impressively unconventional shape.
