Anyone who wanted to buy a ring with fine diamonds and a pearl in the years shortly after 1900, for example, was spoiled for choice. Numerous manufacturers provided jewelleers with a vast array of designs, and in the stores, especially in the larger cities, there were so many wonderful pieces to choose from that the customer could feel like she was in Ali Baba's treasure cave. A glance at contemporary catalogs reveals how rich and varied the selection could be. A wonderful catalog printed in color from the Parisian jewelry factory Bansee, Rue Oberkampf 16, may serve as just one example to give an idea of the richness of jewellery production at the time: It was, it is probably not too much to say, a rich era full of luxury, indeed, perhaps the era with the richest, most beautiful jewellery of all. With its rich decoration, this ring fits in perfectly with this period. A natural pearl is set in the center of the design. Old European cut diamonds are grouped symmetrically around it. The largest diamonds form a line with the pearl. Smaller diamonds are set in the spandrels between the diamonds and the pearl. All this sparkling happiness is held in place by the curved ring band. It is also set with diamonds, of course. A total of around one carat of diamonds are set here. The diamonds are set in silver. The ring band is also covered in silver. The ring itself is made of high-carat yellow gold. This combination of silver and later platinum on gold is typical of diamond jewellery from the late 19th and early 20th century. The use of silver suggests that the ring was created earlier, we date it to the first years after 1900. Platinum was then increasingly used in the following years. An independent expert's appraisal on the materials is enclosed with the ring, which we discovered in Hamburg.
