Description

It is often the craftsmanship that is so admirable about antique jewellery. The best pieces display a finesse and attention to detail that can only be achieved through hours of painstaking manual work and years of experience. This attention to detail extends not only to the visible side of the jewel, but also to those parts of the jewel that remain hidden from the eye at first glance. This ring is one such piece of jewelry that is dedicated to this high level of luxury. First of all, it is its front that catches the eye: A bright green emerald is set here in a bed of platinum, surrounded by a ring of white diamonds in a millegrain setting. However, the side and bottom views of the ring have also been designed with the same high quality standards. The gemstones sit on a basket-shaped base, which is decorated with fine openwork. The ornament is reminiscent of lace, through which light reaches the gemstones. At the lower end of this gallery and up to the gemstones, the ring shoulder is engraved on the side and is also set with diamonds. What at first glance looks like a typical, straight-lined Art Deco jewel reveals an almost sculptural quality at second glance. The use of solid platinum also pays tribute to the high quality of the ring, as this was the most expensive precious metal at the time the piece of jewelry was created - and had not even been used for long. It was only around the turn of the century that European goldsmiths had learned to work with this picturesque yet unconventional metal. The fact that some of them achieved such mastery of the material in a comparatively short time is all the more impressive. The ring is in excellent condition. We discovered it in Hamburg. An independent expert opinion confirms the quality of the materials used.
