Description

This fine 14-karat white gold ring evokes the art-loving zeitgeist of the turbulent twenties. World War I was over, the economy was beginning to warm up, and a new style was taking over art, architecture, and crafts: art deco. The historical forms of the turn of the century had been discredited with the demise of the old social forms. The new urge for fun-loving wealth demanded new forms. The ring face of this piece of jewellery, which was created in the USA around 2000 and draws its formal language from Art Deco designs, features a large brilliant cut diamond weighing about 0.90 carats at its center. Surrounding it is a setting of natural blue sapphires arranged in a cushion shape within a frame of small diamonds. The sapphires are so perfectly cut that they appear to be a continuous field of blue gemstone. Fine milgrains embellishments create that extravagant and almost otherworldly sparkle on the surfaces, including those of the ring shoulders, which are also adorned with sapphires and diamonds. The contrast between the dark blue of the sapphires and the soft shimmer of the diamonds is particularly beautiful. The ring is large and extravagant but still crafted in such an approachable way and made of such uncomplicated materials that it can be worn on a daily basis. A wonderful design of the turn of the millennium with beautiful reminiscence of the Art Deco years.

A new style for a new time! In the midst of the ever faster changing world of the years after the World War, the artists and craftsmen of Art Deco sought to find a new language of forms, which would be appropriate for the new time. They rejected the formal language of Art Nouveau, which seemed to them too sweet, too transfigured, and sought geometric rigor. This alone seemed to them appropriate for the age of automobiles, skyscrapers and express trains. Plant forms now grew upwards in slender, jagged shapes, lightning flashed across the wallpaper as a reference to the electricity that was now used everywhere, and the bodies of people also slimmed down and grew in paintings and graphic art.
