"The aquamarine... has the glassy tint of the waves of the sea." Charles Blanc, Art in Ornament and Dress, 1875 Aquamarine is the blue variety of the mineral beryl, to which emerald also belongs. Its sometimes bluish-sea-green, then clear blue color and its high clarity and brilliance have always led to it being associated with the sea. In fact, this also gave it its name, which is derived from the Latin "aqua marina", meaning "sea water". In the 1930s and 1940s in particular, the blue gemstone became an undisputed darling of the jewelry world. Its cool color harmonized perfectly with the icy designs of Art Deco, and the fashion of those years called for large gemstones. Although aquamarine is precious, it is far more common in large crystals than ruby or sapphire, for example. This ring is a beautiful jewel from this period, which is known for its fine and detailed jewellery. An oval facet-cut aquamarine weighing around 3.40 carats is at the center of the design. The ring face rises above the finger in the shape of an oval flower, providing the ideal framing to show off the large stone. Fine, lace-like openwork in silver, studded with diamond roses, lend the ring an ethereal elegance despite its size. Stylistically, the design of the ring can be dated to the 1930s and its hallmark refers to the Netherlands. We found this beautiful piece of jewelry here in Berlin.
