Jewellery of the late 1960s and 1970s is often very clear and abstract, even futuristic. After the organic forms of the midcentury, a new desire for geometry returned in the age of the race to the moon. The frames of the designs left behind the heavy lust for the shiny yellow gold of late Art Deco and increasingly dissolved into a mesh of white gold rods. The wiry structures of space equipment, the antennae of Sputnik, but also the skeletal structures of the new skyscrapers may have been the inspiration here: It was not for nothing that a brooch with the name Kosmos won the prize for the jewel of the year in 1967. The colors used were of an equally cool, modernist spectrum. White gold became the most sought-after precious metal around 1970, with diamonds and a preference for blue gemstones such as sapphire or aquamarine. The cocktail ring with aquamarine, flanked by diamonds in white gold, may even be considered one of the most popular jewels of the time. This is a typical example of this type: Glamorous and yet not overloaded by its abstraction, the ring exudes a cool elegance that does not hide. The aquamarine in a square emerald cut is clear and brilliant in a light blue; so clear, in fact, that the skin shines through slightly when worn. The ring of around 2.12 ct of brilliant- and baguette-cut diamonds and the luxurious white gold showcase the center stone to great effect. A glamorous jewel from the era of the cocktail hour, wonderfully preserved!
