A large coral in a round bouton cut is staged as a powerful splash of color in this ring. It is set in the center of a golden bowl, paying homage to the beauty of the sea. Three arches of warm, shiny yellow gold accompany the coral at the top and bottom; solid shoulders lead over to the ring band. The orange-red sea treasure lies in its shell above the finger, like a ship above the waves: Who hasn't dreamed of carefree summers in the inviting south? However, it is not just the beauty of the natural material that makes the design so inspiring. The shape of the setting with its expressive dynamics is also particularly elegant. The ring speaks the design language of late Art Deco, which is known as "retro" jewelry: The shapes are stronger, more physical, the volumes larger and the jewellery even more magnificent than in the 1920s. The colors of the jewellery also changed: the fashion of the years from 1940 onwards preferred jewellery made of yellow gold to platinum or white gold, and colored gemstones and corals replaced diamonds in popularity. The surfaces of the gold became geometrically curved and the jewels were designed almost like cubist architecture. This ring was therefore also created around 1950 and came to us from the Rhineland.
