Imperial jewels, diamonds weighing dozens of carats and natural pearls of the same weight lie behind steel and glass in museums today, as silent witnesses to a bygone era. Yet it was not these pieces that once shaped the image of eras far removed from us today: it was the smaller, wearable but no less beautifully crafted jewels, perhaps the kind that people admired for a long time in shop windows before wishing for them on a special day, or that people saved up for a long time to finally adore their beloved. These necklaces, rings and bracelets were loved and worn. But these are not the pieces you can admire in museums to get an impression of the jewelry of an era. In 1904, the Deutsche Goldschmiede-Zeitung wisely asked, "Where else but in private ownership are the living witnesses of the beauty of our time and its aspirations to be kept and preserved?" (DGZ 1904, p. 154). The present ring shows that this also applies to pieces of jewellery from the Art Deco period. This expressive piece of jewellery shows in detail all the charm of the jewellery of the time. The ring face, inlaid with platinum, shines white. Fine shiny joints and milgrains divide the diamond into five fields. An old-cut diamond sparkles in each one. All of the stones are significantly older than the ring and were cut in the second half of the 19th century. They may have come from an heirloom to be given a new shine here. A narrow gold ring band is attached. The ring is in very good condition. A small, wearable souvenir of a now distant era that we discovered in London.
