The late 1960s and 1970s took a different approach to jewelry design than the Midcentury. While the economic miracle period after the Second World War demanded pieces of jewelry with large shapes and a yellow-gold appearance to herald the new prosperity, more abstract designs in white gold with sparkling diamonds were now in line with contemporary tastes. The brilliant-cut diamonds in the designs were often complemented by bright, contrasting colored stones in primary colors. This bracelet reflects this taste in its appearance and is an original of the time that appears as modern today as it did then. A decorative element with 32 white diamonds with together 1,20 ct weight, is set in the center of a polished link bracelet. A natural ruby in fiery red shines in the center of the composition. This gives the well-preserved bracelet an accentuated centerpiece in sparkling cool shapes. The design offers unadorned, almost casual elegance and yet impresses with its rich features. The bracelet, which came to us from the Rhineland, comes with a detailed appraisal.

Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum. Corundum is found in almost all colors of the rainbow, including completely colorless stones. However, while all of these stones can also be referred to as sapphires, only the magnificent red stones of this mineral genus are rubies. Among the colored stones, the ruby is by far the most valuable stone; only particularly high-quality pink, blue or green diamonds achieve higher prices today. Historically, the best rubies have always been mined in Burma, around the city of Mogok. They are characterized by an intense, pink-red color, which is also known as "pigeon's blood". According to tradition, rubies are divine, princely stones. As the color is reminiscent of blood and burning fire, their connection to burning love was quite natural. They are even said to prevent illness and give proud, fresh courage.
