All through the night, I delight in your love, All through the night You're so close to me! In Cole Porter's classic, Ella Fitzgerald sings about the attitude to life in the early 1930s: "The day is my enemy, the night my friend" – life begins at sunset, when the music starts and the lamps in the bars begin to glow. This antique ring could have adorned Ella's finger, as she made her debut as a singer at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem during this eventful era. The seventeen-year-old Ella originally wanted to compete as a dancer in a talent contest there, but the excitement made her legs tremble, so she sang a song instead. The ring is made from high-carat white gold. Three old-cut diamonds shine in the setting of the elegantly elongated ring face, cool and challenging in the electric light. Four midnight blue sapphires - synthetic stones typical of the time - provide a dynamic counterpoint and draw the eye to the ring shoulders. The ring face has an elegantly openwork, boat-shaped design with floral engravings and fine sawing work. The design is typical of Déco jewellery from the United States, and the hallmark also reveals that this is an American work. The very well-preserved ring found its way to us from Hamburg.
