Do you know Fritz Lang's legendary film "Metropolis"? The skyscrapers, the fast rhythms of the city and nightlife, the futuristic machine world characterized by technology and future thinking are considered iconic today. At the same time, in 1927, Walther Ruttmann's "Berlin - Die Sinfonie der Großstadt" was released, which elevated the rhythmic pounding of the machines to an aesthetic. Today, the period between the First and shortly after the Second World War is considered the high point of the "Machine Age" – because this era of mechanization was aesthetically reflected not only in film, but also in art and jewellery. This ring, which perfectly captures the cool, technical look of the time, was created towards the end of the Machine Age, as shown by its diamond cuts. A cross made of one and a half carats of glittering diamonds shines on the ring face, supported by white gold struts. The ring face has a sculptural design and does not skimp on material: the solid ring weighs just over ten grams. An unusual and artistic piece of jewellery that takes the aesthetics of the machine age to the extreme.
