The First World War was such a radical turning point that it also fundamentally changed the way people wore jewellery. Whereas people had previously often worn a collection of different pieces with sentimental connotations, they now chose a few high-quality jewels primarily based on whether they matched their wardrobe. Fashion took the place of sentiment. The Dress Ring, also known as the Dinner Ring, now celebrated its heyday in the ring segment. Its function was purely aesthetic. In 1929, Harper's Bazaar reported: "It is no longer seen that two or three rings are worn on each finger. Elegant society wears a diamond band as a wedding ring and a large solitaire ring, usually a diamond, as an engagement ring, and then perhaps another dress ring to enhance the effect of the dress. The dress rings of our era consist mainly of one large colored gemstone each." The present ring dates from this period and has a bright green emerald from Colombia weighing approx. 1.20 ct in the center, set in a frame with millegrains. The emerald has a very intense, luminous color and has only been lightly oiled (minor oil). It is surrounded by a frame of old-cut diamonds. A total of around 0.72 ct of diamonds are set. The platinum and white gold ring is in very good condition and came to us here in Berlin. It is accompanied by two independent appraisals.
