While two-dimensional designs were still favored in the 1920s, jewellery was allowed to become more three-dimensional again from around 1930. The ring face of the present domed bombé ring also curves towards the viewer to present them with a large diamond in the historic old European cut of about 0.54 ct. Fine saw work divides the ring face into abstract shapes set with smaller diamond roses, and surrounds the center stone with a shadow gap that makes it appear even larger. The result is a luxurious jewel that exudes the spirit of Art Deco. The ring represents one of those pieces of jewellery from the last era when diamonds were still cut by hand. In the course of the 19th century, the cuts had become more and more similar to the shape we know today as a brilliant. It was not until 1919, however, that Marcel Tolkowsky calculated the ideal shape of the brilliant on an optical-physical basis; the exact shape, which is the standard in Germany today, the so-called fine cut of the practice, was not even determined until 1938. The shape of the modern brilliant was really established after the war. Old cuts are sought after today, because they have their own unique brilliance, which cannot be compared with today's diamonds; each stone is individual. The ring is made of platinum. In the years around 1930, the price of the precious metal fluctuated greatly, reaching values between one and a half times and four times the price of gold. Platinum jewellery was thus considered the epitome of luxury. The ring is a typical Art Deco jewel in every respect, reflecting not only stylistically but also materially the preferences of its time of origin.
