Jewellery from the 1960s breathes the optimism of an era that firmly believed in progress and the future. After the soft, organic lines of the 1950s, clear geometry was rediscovered - inspired by the space age and the race to the moon. Rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings were presented in fresh white, like the light of the stars, and often combined with the deep blue of the night sky. In addition to sapphires, other gemstones in pure primary colors were occasionally used. But above all, it is the cool fire of diamonds set in white gold that gives many pieces of jewellery from this period their unmistakable charm. The settings also reveal the stylistic change: the opulent heaviness of the yellow gold from the late Art Deco period gave way to finer, often almost weightless-looking structures in white gold. This is also the case here: Sparkling diamonds and midnight blue sapphires are artfully arranged in white gold. They each form two blossoms, from which individually set diamonds flow into large drops. A sapphire also sits in another flower, surrounded by diamonds. All four sapphires together weigh around 2.90 ct, while the diamonds are impressive with a total weight of around 1.32 ct. The earrings thrive on the clear contrast between white and blue - and on the concentrated elegance of two gemstones that have always formed a perfect combination: Sapphire and diamond. This pair came to us from Berlin.
