Description

In the last two decades of the 19th century, the purchasing power of the European bourgeoisie had increased rapidly – at the same time, growing globalization meant that more luxurious stones were available than ever before. As a result, jewellery was created that was primarily dedicated to one thing: the aesthetic display of particularly beautiful gemstones. This is particularly evident in the development of ring types. Gold and silver recede completely as design elements and are used purely as settings. These rings no longer became ornamental through engraved metal surfaces, but through the arrangement of large, precious stones. This ring is one such piece, which corresponds to the newly developed type of so-called "crossover ring". It is finely crafted and delicate in size, yet luxuriously set with gemstones. Three striking, brilliant old-cut diamonds are arranged in a diagonal. The dynamism of the stones is supported by two effectively placed rubies. These are bright pink-red rubies from Burma, untreated and natural: the gold standard among rubies even back then. The double ring band is also set with clear, shimmering diamond roses on both sides so that only the gemstones are visible when worn. The ring is in very good condition and a typical Belle Époque piece.
