Art Deco brought a formal language of graphic patterns and acute-angled geometries to the world of jewellery. However, as time progressed, the shapes also changed. From the 1930s onwards, the two-dimensional, graphic designs became much more physical and sculptural and a new form of Art Déco emerged, which is also known in English as the "retro style" - and which remained popular until the 1950s. This ring is a representative of this style and was created in the early post-war period. It is forged from 14-karat yellow and white gold and richly set with high-quality diamonds. A large brilliant-cut diamond is the highlight of the design. They occupy the center, from which streamlined, curved decorative shapes radiate to the sides. The transverse shape of the ring face is also typical of the retro style. All the elements appear to overlap and give the design a sculptural depth. This is precisely what makes the ring so appealing: It is a three-dimensional object and is also beautiful when viewed from the side. The ring is forged by hand and contains just over half a carat of brilliant- and 8/8-cut diamonds. This also proves that the ring was created in the years after the Second World War. Goldsmiths finally had access to high-quality materials for new creations, unlike in the 1940s, when old pieces of jewelry or stones were often reworked. The era of new beginnings also found its glamorous expression in jewellery. We discovered this perfectly preserved ring in the Rhineland.
