Fashions come and go — only to come back again. Around 1910, fashion once again drew inspiration from the neo-classical period of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The very large, rectangular rings of that era also made a comeback, though this time crafted from the precious materials of diamonds and platinum. The ring presented here is one such piece of jewellery. Its shield-shaped ring face is entirely set with diamonds in what is known as a pavé setting. The term is derived from the French word pavé, meaning “paving,” and describes a setting in which the diamonds are set so closely together that they appear as a continuous, sparkling surface. The focus is not on the individual stone, but on the interplay of countless points of light that combine to form a single radiant whole. This is precisely where the special beauty of this ring lies. The delicate platinum settings recede almost entirely behind the diamonds, making the front appear as if it were formed from light. Depending on the angle of view, bright reflections and subtle shadows alternate, lending the design an extraordinary vibrancy. We discovered the ring in Bonn. Small hallmarks reveal that it was crafted in Vienna before 1922.
