How far away the years immediately following the horrors and privations of the Second World War seem to us today. Only now and then do we remember, when we listen to the stories of our parents and grandparents about the regained freedom and the joy of it, when we read the books of those years like Martin Walser's "Marriages in Philippsburg" or watch one of those unforgettable films that captured the feeling of life in this era of upheaval, such as Fellini's "La Strada" or "La Dolce Vita" in Italy. The present elegant ring of the years around 1950 comes from this period. Its extraordinary design is indebted to the formal language of late Art Deco, known as "Retro Style". At its center, the ring forged from warm yellow gold features a row of four diamonds. The gemstones have a total weight of about 0.32 carats and are held by carreau settings of white gold. The ring's confidently dynamic shape gives the piece of jewellery a luxurious presence that was especially in demand during the years of the economic miracle. The ring is in first-class condition and ready to wear. The high-quality features and workmanship are still as convincing today as they were on the first day.

In jewellery, as in fashion, shapes and trends are subject to constant change. What was unfashionable just a moment ago can be all the rage again the very next moment. This phenomenon can also be seen in the development of Art Deco. While cool platinum undisputedly dominated the jewellery world in the 1920s and early '30s, coloured gold experienced an astonishing comeback starting in 1935. In the course of the so-called "Retro Jewellery", the once delicate shapes also became significantly more voluminous and gave the jewellery an expressive presence.
