Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
A large old European cut diamond of around 0.44 carats sparkles like ice. It is embedded in a fine network of platinum that looks like white lace that has become jewellery. Hand-cut openwork, studded with smaller diamonds, combine to create an artistic filigree. The ring is almost oval in shape and covers an entire finger. This ring shape, which looks like a laced corset, can be found in designs and catalogues from the early 1910s onwards. The playful design language with its floral ornaments and airier openings compared to rings from the 1920s still breathes the elegant zeitgeist of the late Belle Époque. The ring was most likely created before the Russian Revolution, as Russian platinum exports, which had previously supplied the jewelry makers of the Western world with the coveted precious metal, dried up after the Revolution. As a result, the price of platinum rose to many times the price of gold. It was only after new platinum mines were opened in the South African Transvaal in 1924 that solid platinum jewelry returned to the displays of jewellers' stores. A timeless and luxurious jewel that has withstood the test of time wonderfully.
