Antique Tourbillon Ring with Old Cut Diamond in Platinum, Paris, c. 1930

Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

The "tourbillon" ring type first appeared in jewellery during the Art Nouveau period. The term comes from the French and means something like whirlwind: a wonderfully descriptive name for a ring whose shoulders wrap around the central diamond like a whirlpool. Or like two protective hands holding a precious treasure. At the center of this tourbillon ring is a large old-cut diamond. It weighs around 1.75 carats and is therefore a beautiful, presentable size. It is white with an elegant hint of platinum and has a beautiful brilliance thanks to its excellent symmetry for an old cut. It has a number of scattered inclusions inside that make it unmistakable. Be sure to take a closer look at the stone under a magnifying glass: Exciting inclusions, like pepper in a fine jelly, almost seem to have been caught up in the same whirlwind that gave the ring its design idea. You will always recognize the diamond, and yet it does not appear cloudy. A total of twelve other small diamonds sparkle on the ring shoulders. The entire visible surface of the ring, which is forged from platinum, sparkles on the front. The ring is in very good condition and we discovered it in Paris, where its hallmark indicates that it was created after 1926. However, we do not date it much later due to the diamond cut and its design. Due to its symbolism, the ring is also ideal as an engagement ring. An unusual solitaire with almost a century of history.
