Paris shines. The fact that the French capital is also known throughout the world as the "City of Light" is due to two factors. Firstly, Paris was the center of the European Enlightenment in the 18th century, the intellectual movement known in France as the "Siècle des Lumières" and in English-speaking countries as the "Age of Enlightenment". Above all, however, Paris was the first metropolis to be comprehensively illuminated by gaslight. It turned night into day on the boulevards and, not least, gave new impetus to art and literature. From the 1860s onwards, 56,000 gas lamps lit up the city, which now shone like never before. It may be a coincidence, but the jewellery of the great Parisian goldsmiths' houses also seems to have responded to this joy of light. Until well into the 20th century, jewellery from France differed greatly from that of other centers in its rich use of sparkling, luminous gemstones. When we think of Cartier, Chaumet or Boucheron, creations made of ever-radiant diamonds spring to mind: the City of Light virtually demanded sparkling jewels! Such a Parisian jewel, made entirely of platinum and diamonds, can be seen here in the form of a ring from around 1930. The ring face is square in shape and rises in two steps set with diamond roses. A larger old European cut diamond shines in the center and at each of the four corners of the composition. A total of around 0.80 carats of diamonds are set. Saw-cut shadow gaps and glittering milegrain decors lend the piece of jewelry an inimitably ethereal touch. The ring came to us here in Berlin. It is a convincing piece of Art Deco jewellery whose design language radiates a modernity that transcends time.
