Jewellery of the 1980s and early 1990s fascinates as an often beautiful, but always impressive testimony of a time of optimism and abundance: the oil crisis seemed to be over, Wall Street flourished, and a new image of woman emerged: self-confident and tough, asserting herself at work and against men, with broad shoulder pads and high heels. The fashion of the time called for rings, necklaces and brooches in hitherto unfamiliar dimensions, with reflective surfaces of yellow gold and rich settings of precious stones. Much costume jewellery was created, but real jewellery was also produced in large numbers in the USA and Europe. The bracelet here from around 1985 bears witness to this. A total of 128 diamonds together with as many natural rubies occupy the surface of the slightly curved links of the design. The rubies are set in rows and are only held on the sides by gold bars. This technically sophisticated type of setting allows the stones to almost float, held in place by invisible forces. This creates a sparkling surface, as the gemstones are cut in such a way that they seem to blend into each other without a joint. The band is made of high karat gold that is rhodium-plated white in the area of the diamond settings. It comes with a detailed appraisal from the German Society for Gemstone Appraisal Idar-Oberstein and found its way to us from Hamburg.

The combination of ruby & diamond is always particularly beautiful and has even found its way into literature: "The jewellery was a composition of diamonds and rubies and looked as delicate, pure and luxurious as a medieval work of art set in colors. A true magic lay around this intimacy of water luster and rose blush distributed in the sensual figures, which can only be taken from the thoughts of our ancestors in such a way." (Adalbert Stifter: Der Nachsommer, 1857)
