In the early 20th century, a true revolution took place in the world of jewellery. Although many shapes and designs that had been around since the late 19th century were still being worn - such as crescent-shaped brooches and delicate pendants made of gold and pearls - a new style was emerging at the same time. This was characterized by luminous platinum, fine, refined details such as sawing and engraving and, above all, the rich use of diamonds. The jewellery was intended to be luminous and ethereal. This ring is a fine example of this modern taste at the time. It sets five white diamonds in a cross shape, which is complemented by meandering open work to form an octagon. The side sections are filled with leaf engravings. The platinum front of the ring, which is otherweise made of yellow gold, bathes the piece of jewellery in white light. The ring bears US hallmarks, showing how popular this style was throughout the western world. A page from a catalogue of the New York jewelers J. R. Wood & Sons from 1919, which also offers rings made of gold with a platinum top, shows a ring with a very similar design under the number 366 (see last illustration). The ring is of high quality and in very good condition. We discovered it in Minneapolis.
