Birmingham 1987: Synthpop, New Wave and the last hint of post-punk sound from the loudspeakers - bands such as Depeche Mode, The Smiths and New Order characterize the sound of this time. Young women can be seen on the streets in oversized blazers, shoulder pads and dyed hair; the style is loud, self-confident and often extravagant. But while fashion, music and society changed rapidly, one thing remained constant: the fascination with classic shapes and gemstones in jewelry design. This ring, made in Birmingham in 1987, shows that timeless elegance can exist regardless of trends. The maker of this piece deliberately chose a historical motif and selected the peridot, a gemstone that had already enjoyed great popularity towards the end of the Victorian era. In the 1890s, the olive-green peridot became a real fashionable stone, not least due to the rediscovery of the legendary mines on St. John's Island in the Red Sea. With access to the Egyptian site, which was later joined by deposits in Myanmar and Brazil, the stone became an integral part of British jewelry culture. The ring shown here picks up on this tradition: An oval-cut peridot forms the center of a classic entourage design, framed by sparkling diamonds. The twelve diamonds are shaped in an octagonal cut and are held in white gold settings. The narrow yellow gold band is just as traditional - a design language familiar from the late Victorian era. However, its modern finish and a glance at the hallmarks on the inside of the ring reveal its true origin: Birmingham, 1987. The dynamically wavy undercut of the ring face also leaves no doubt as to its late origin. This piece of jewelry is thus an expression of quiet continuity - created in the midst of an era of great cultural upheaval, yet firmly anchored in the history of British jewelry art. A ring that elegantly combines past and present.
