This ring presents itself as a dynamic variation of the classic Entourage motif. The ring face is slightly raised and holds its precious setting in a basket made of platinum struts, allowing plenty of light to reach the gemstones. The bright precious metal is visually restrained to the maximum. The dark blue natural sapphire, weighing about 1.40 carats, is surrounded by two opposing sweeps of diamonds that appear like the spiral arms of a distant galaxy. Two diamond baguettes add a surprising moment to the design. The history of jewelry knows the special symbolism of this classic combination of gemstones: for example, the sapphire was considered a symbol of fidelity, truth and loyalty. The diamond, on the other hand, was often understood as a symbol of eternity due to its particular hardness. Entourage rings of this kind, with blue sapphire and brilliant-cut diamonds, have enjoyed renewed popularity in recent years: Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, also wears a sapphire ring with diamonds on her ring finger - a piece of jewelry that Princess Diana had previously chosen as an engagement ring. The ring, which came to us from Switzerland, is beautifully preserved. According to the workmanship and design, it was made in the years around 1970. An independent appraisal has confirmed the quality of the materials used.

Jewellery of the 1960s and 1970s is characterized by optimism and belief in progress. After the organic forms of the fifties, a new desire for geometry returned in the age of the race to the moon. Rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings - the color of the time was again white, like the stars, often combined with blue, like the sky of the night. Occasionally, in addition to sapphires, other colored stones are found in primary colors, but it is mainly the cool sparkle of diamonds, combined with white gold, that makes the charm of the jewelry of this period. The settings of the designs break away from the heavy desire for shiny yellow gold of late Art Deco and increasingly dissolve into a mesh of white gold rods. The filigree structures of space equipment, the antennas of Sputnik, but also the skeletal structures of the new skyscrapers may have been the inspiration here. It is not without reason that a brooch with the name "Cosmos" wins the prize for Jewel of the Year in 1967. And every single piece of jewelry wins lightness, light and elegance.
