Antique Tiara Ring with Burmese Rubies and Diamonds, c. 1905

Description

This ring from the early years of the 20th century is unusually rich and precious. Everything sparkles and shines in the fiery brilliance of white diamonds and glowing red rubies. The precious stones are set in platinum. Only a side view reveals that the actual ring beneath the platinum is made of red gold. The design of the ring is as unusual as it is exciting. The ring band initially swings upwards towards the front before dropping steeply downwards in an energetic change of direction. Three old-cut diamonds are then set next to each other here. A third element then emerges from this meeting point of the two lines, which rises upwards and carries the two rubies and another large diamond. The motif of the three gemstones is thus repeated at both ends of the design, slightly varied by the size and color of the stones: Here they are slightly further apart and their arrangement appears lighter and brighter, there they are closer together, which together with the intense color of the rubies creates a powerful, energetic impression. It is such subtle variations that the designers of the turn of the century repeatedly sought to implement in their jewelry: Games with light and shadow, brightness values and subtle nuances. As a result, a ring like this is still interesting to admire even after around 120 years and reveals something new every time you look at it. We have commissioned independent expert reports on the quality of the materials, which also confirm the origin of the rubies from Burma. They are enclosed with the ring. Unfortunately, the ring does not bear any hallmarks that would prove where the ring was once made. It probably comes from Germany.
