This expressive ring has been preserved in its original case, a case made by the jeweller Karl Friedrich from Frankfurt am Main. Jeweller Friedrich was for a long time the first jeweller of Frankfurt. Founded by Karl Friedrich in 1947, shortly after the war, the house suddenly became world famous when Barbra Streisand exclaimed in a television interview in the 1970s that what she liked best about Germany was "Jewels from Friedrich!" Although this episode may not have been a pure coincidence, the jewellery pieces from the house's workshop continue to impress with their quality and design to this day. This ring is no exception and holds a colourful Thai ruby weighing 3.75 ct in its center. Airy lobes hold the stone, which impresses with its extraordinary clarity and dark red with a gentle admixture of blue. Two trapeze-cut diamonds weighing a combined 0.40 ct with excellent color and clarity accompany the natural ruby on the shoulders of the white gold ring. The special feature, besides the purity and color of the ruby, is its cut. Thus, the oval faceted stone appears visually far larger because it has been cut flat and its carat count is visible in length and width. We were able to acquire the simple and elegant ruby ring as part of a very high quality collection of high quality jewellery created from the 1950s onwards. Its first wearer was a lady of Hamburg society. And of course, any life on the social scene includes elegant receptions and cocktail parties: the ring may have witnessed more than a few such occasions. It comes with an external appraisal from DeGEB, which confirms the quality of its select high-quality materials. Another expert opinion on the ruby confirms its origin from Thailand.
