The gentle radiance of aquamarine is the subject of numerous legends from classical antiquity: the gemstone was said to be able to appease the god of the sea, Poseidon. Sailors once threw - would you believe it? - aquamarine overboard during raging storms to soothe the sea god's raging anger. A large and wonderfully clear aquamarine in light blue is the centerpiece of this Art Déco ring from around 1935. Wonderful aquamarines came to Europe from Brazil, particularly in the first decades of the 20th century, and were often cut in Idar-Oberstein and then sold on all over the world. The special thing about these stones is that they are generally aquamarines with a particularly beautiful purity, which allows the natural minerals to sparkle wonderfully. The aquamarine weighing 10.68 ct sits in an open setting of white gold. We know its weight so precisely because we have set it to have it re-polished. It has obviously always been worn with pleasure, as evidenced by some signs of wear on the stone, which our gemstone cutter has repaired. The gemstone, which is set slightly raised in the ring, sits in an openwork undercut that gives it enough room to sparkle. The ring shows how finely and precisely it has been crafted, especially when viewed from the side. The undercutting of the ring face and every detail shows the steady hand of the goldsmith who crafted the ring around 90 years ago. This beautiful ring came to us from the north of Germany.
