Glamorous Ring With "Sugarloaf" Sapphire in White Gold, Art Déco Circa 1940

Description

In the late 1930s, Parisian jewellery houses in particular developed a variation of Art Deco that we know today as the "retro style". With its increasingly expansive forms, it differed from the more delicate and flat designs that had characterized the previous decade. This new style soon spread throughout the world - film stars such as Marlene Dietrich with her legendary ruby bracelet made it famous worldwide. This luxurious ring, which came to us from Paris, is a representative of this fashion. The wide band is made from white gold. The ring rises in the middle with beveled edges and presents a precious arrangement of gemstones. A wonderful cabochon-cut sapphire shines in the center. This cut is also known as a "sugarloaf cut". And not without reason: it makes the gemstone look like a delicious sweet. The colour of the natural, untreated, i.e. unheated stone is a deep violet that shifts to blue depending on the incidence of light and the source. Twelve small single-cut diamonds accompany the large sapphire on the beveled edges of the ring face. The ring itself is made from high-carat white gold, whose angular, polished surface radiates elegance. The ring is in very good condition and is an exemplary Art Déco jewel from around 1940. You can find more on rings from this period with further illustrations in David Bennet and Daniela Mascetti: Understanding Jewellery, Woodbridge 2010, p. 400f.
