Spectacular "Retro Style" Ring With Diamonds In Platinum, Belgium Circa 1945

Description

A lasting impression is left by this ring of late Art Deco, as precious as it is magnificent. The design presents an articulated rectangle of white light that seems to float freely and seemingly weightlessly above the finger. The brilliance of the 2.61 ct of very good, white and pure diamonds and the polished platinum alone is pleasing to the eye. The ring shows the design language of this style also known as "Retro Style". The designers of this period, after enjoying finely chiseled geometric patterns, increasingly turned to more powerful, physical shapes. Polished metal surfaces, such as those on the sides of the ring, suddenly became fashionable where previously fine engravings had dominated the image. Buckles, ribbons and knot shapes were particularly popular, as in this ring, which resembles a clasp or bow. It may be a coincidence that this shift away from the finer, more ethereal forms of early Art Deco coincides with the Wall Street stock market crash of 1929 - but perhaps this new style offered the promise of stability in a time that had suddenly become uncertain. The ring bears a hallmark from Belgium on its exterior. It was trimmed a bit during an earlier ring width change, but is still clearly visible and was not introduced in this form until 1942. We therefore date the ring to the years immediately following.
