The 1960s and 1970s were characterized by a strong desire for innovation in the field of jewellery. Artistic designs, unusual combinations of materials and daring asymmetries were intended to breathe new life into the art of jewelry. This ring from around 1970 was also created in this spirit. At its center is an impressively large moonstone. The stone is cut as a tall oval cabochon and shimmers in soft pastel shades that alternate between grayish blue and a hint of green. A soft shimmer glides over the stone depending on the lighting. This so-called chatoyance, also known as the cat's eye effect, is typical of moonstones from the Indian subcontinent. The large gemstone is held in place by an expressive setting made of high-carat gold. Beads, textured cubes and elements reminiscent of flowers or nuggets give the bold composition a fantastic touch. With its extravagant design language, the design is very much in the tradition of post-war artist jewelry. We discovered the well-preserved ring, which was probably made in the USA, in Potsdam.
