Tourmalines are quite rare in the history of jewellery - until the early 20th century. When the dynamic forms of Art Deco conquered the jewelry world, new gemstones and material combinations were also sought. In 1924, the American journal The Jeweler's Circular published a report on the jewelry fair in Leipzig, which stated: "Aquamarines, amethysts, tourmalines, opals and even topazes are preferred as settings to rings, while the desire for pearl set rings can once again be satisfied." (A Word About the Jewelry Exhibit at the Leipzig Fair, from: The Jeweler's Circular, May 7, 1924, p. 65). The green tourmaline in particular experienced a sudden surge in popularity. Although it is quite similar in color to the emerald, it has greater clarity and brilliance. A natural green tourmaline in a rectangular scissor cut weighing around 3.65 carats has also been chosen as the centerpiece of this expressive ring. A wide golden frame surrounds the precious center stone, which has been shaped in the classic emerald cut. Like the simple ring band, it is forged from 14-karat yellow gold. With its deliberately angular design language, the ring corresponds to the late Art Deco style, also known as the retro style, which remained popular in the early post-war period. The ring is in very good condition and came to us here in Berlin.
