How much more typical of the period could a beautiful, high-quality old-cut diamond have been staged around 1930 than here? The elegant ring corresponds in every respect to the modern aspirations of Art Déco. Geometric and angular, without losing any of its finesse and sophistication, it embodies the style of this turbulent period through and through. At its center, the ring features a beautiful old mine cut diamond with a warm, slightly yellowish color. The gemstone weighs around 0.40 carats and is accompanied by 26 smaller diamonds, which transform the design into a firework of white light reflections. The large center stone has an even longer history: according to its cut, it is a diamond that was cut at the end of the 19th century and found a second use here. This was quite common at the time, because as contemporary tastes changed drastically with the advent of Art Deco, it was possible to keep up with fashion by setting old diamonds from heirlooms without the need to invest in large new stones. The ring is thoroughly modern in its choice of material. It is made from high-carat white gold, a new precious metal at the time. It was not until 1912 that the German company Dr. Richter & Cie. from Pforzheim succeeded in producing white gold - the so-called "white gold Dorico", a sensation at the time. Its invention had become necessary due to the high price of platinum and the continuing popularity of white jewels. "White is the watchword today, white is fashionable", the Leipzig watchmaker's newspaper announced about the new white gold in 1912. Typical of the time, the ring face with the diamond settings is also made of platinum, as white gold is not quite as pristine white as platinum. The ring is in excellent condition and would make a wonderful engagement ring.
