Antique Gold Target Ring with Old European Cut Diamonds, Germany, c. 1915

Description

Is it a small target inviting us to aim a cupid's arrow at it? The ring face is round like one, with a beautiful old European cut diamond in the center. Rings of this type are actually called "target rings" in English-speaking countries and make us think of Cupid's arrows. A beautiful, sparkling old-cut diamond weighing 0.60 ct is the centerpiece here, and a concentric circle of 14 other old-cut diamonds surround the large center stone. Millegrains enrich it with additional sparkle and effective shadow play. Two diamonds set on the side lead over to the simple ring band. The ring face is made of white gold, while the ring itself is made from yellow gold. The ring therefore shines in white on the front, in keeping with the taste of its time. An old engraving in the ring band, unfortunately no longer legible today, makes it likely that it was an engagement ring at the time of its creation. Sophisticated and modern in its details, but restrained in its size, the ring can be used again as an engagement ring around 100 years after its creation. We found it here in Berlin.

White jewels, i.e. pieces of jewelry in white, celebrate light. The innovation of the electric light bulb at the end of the 19th century turned night into day. As a result, jewellery could now shine in the evening like never before. At the grand balls in Paris, London and St. Petersburg, ever more magnificent diamond necklaces were presented, as well as tiaras, brooches and rings, all dreams in white diamonds. At the beginning of the 20th century, when platinum and finally white gold found their way into the shop windows of jewelers, this white brilliance was complete and night became day.
