Lightness was the ideal of the Belle Époque, the period between the late 19th century and the outbreak of the First World War. It was no longer just the aristocracy that celebrated glittering parties. The bourgeoisie, who had gained wealth and prestige through industrialization, also wanted to share in the sunny side of life. Rushing balls, foaming champagne goblets and elegant salons make up our image of that time. The present ring also reflects this ideal of joie de vivre and lightness in its sense of form. The protagonists of the ring, three large old-cut diamonds weighing a total of approx. 1.14 ct, are mounted between curved clasps set with rose diamonds as if they were floating freely. They are connected almost invisibly by fine knife-edge bars, while the platinum millegrain settings visually merge with the diamonds. This elegant ring was created in Germany in the first decade of the 20th century. It is beautifully preserved and is both a classic and high-quality example of a Belle Époque ring.
