Like the first, the second world war also represented a major cultural caesura. People wanted to break with the old and find forms that corresponded to the regained optimism of the post-war period. After the First World War, the non-representational, strictly geometric Art Deco had fulfilled this role. But how should one now become even more modern, even more contemporary? The answer was found in asymmetry. Forms inspired by ribbons and feathers swung into abstract, asymmetrical compositions full of dynamism. Even diamond jewelry didn't look heavy and old-fashioned in this formal language, but lively and modern. The ring here also speaks this formal language, the "Midcentury". Almost architecturally, white gold bands are set over and next to each other, sparkling in the light of white diamonds. A total of around 0.55 ct of diamonds give the ring its radiant brilliance. This design language was widespread not only in Germany, but throughout the Western world, including overseas. Comparable pieces can be found, for example, in the Houston Jewelers catalog from 1960 (see last image). The company carried similar models from the mid-1950s until well into the 1960s.
