Eleven flawless diamonds in fine white and with a total weight of 0.68 carats form the setting of a ring that immediately catches the eye with its expressive design. An expertise issued by the Berlin jeweler Hülse in the summer of 1977 has been preserved as a copy of the ring - however, we assume that the piece of jewelry was created a few years earlier. Forged from solid 18-karat gold, the ring has a conical design with oval openings that give it a regular structure. Its surface is satin-finished by hand and white gold settings with diamonds are set into the openings in such a way that a play of light and shadow is created, with the diamonds sparkling as if against a dark backdrop. The gemstones appear to shine out of the ring face as if from small balconies on different levels - transforming the ring, which was certainly created as a one-off, into a typical design object of its time. Few eras other than the 1960s and 1970s were as experimental and bold in their jewelry designs. Structure was a major theme in the jewellery of this period. It was no longer purely shiny, polished gold surfaces that were in demand, but rather those that played with light and shadow through their surfaces and thus exploited all facets of the goldsmith's art: surfaces like grains of sand were sometimes seen, sometimes reminiscent of veins in leaves or other natural structures, sometimes completely abstract. These were designs that had never been seen before in any era of jewelry history. As Graham Hughes wrote in his book: Modern Jewelry, London, 1963: "Textures fascinate craftsmen today more than ever before". This ring is a perfect example of a high-quality piece of jewelry from the 1960s in terms of materials and design. And last but not least, it is an object that still gives pleasure today!
