Description

This ring is so unusual that we absolutely had to buy it when we saw it for the first time in Hamburg. Its craftsmanship by hand is so fine and precise that it is nothing but astonishing. It is perfectly preserved. The large old-cut diamonds are of fine quality and have a very good brilliance. But above all, it is the unusual colour palette that makes this ring something very special. Orange-yellow citrines and violet amethysts are cut very precisely and in such a way that they appear to float between fine platinum frames. The design, an elongated marquise, is thus filled with nothing but luminous color. Two large diamonds in the old European cut totalling around 1.65 ct are the highlights of the setting. Between them, citrines and amethysts alternate in a symmetrical pattern of pastel-coloured light. Pastel colours dominated fashion in the first decade of the young 20th century. Fashion houses such as the House of Worth designed dresses in soft tones, embroidered with floral ornaments and accentuated by delicate tulle panels. The lines were flowing and soft, the colors all borrowed from a decidedly delicate spectrum. One preferred to wear matching gemstones in the same colour scheme: lilac amethysts, light green peridots, shimmering opals and aqua blue aquamarines. The ring was created as part of this world of elegant beauty; it is sumptuously set and exquisitely crafted, yet delicate and light at the same time. It was created around 1915. An independent appraisal has confirmed the quality of the materials.
