The elegant lady of the 1920s chose her precious evening jewelry not only according to mood and occasion, but also according to the color of her dress. In 1929, one could read in Harper's Bazaar: "It is no longer seen that two or three rings are worn on each finger. Elegant society wears a diamond band as a wedding ring and a large solitaire ring, usually a diamond, as an engagement ring, and then perhaps another dress ring to enhance the effect of the dress." What might a Mondaine of the golden 1920s have worn this ring for - with Madame Paquin's midnight blue dress, or with the Callot Soeurs' silver lamé pattern? Today we can only speculate, because like almost all pieces of jewelry, this ring came to us without a confirmed provenance. But one thing is certain: it belonged to a wealthy lady who wanted to make a grand entrance. This beautiful ring is strikingly large and also has precious features. A total of 26 diamonds weighing around 0.78 ct adorn the entire surface of the ring. The ring face is also structured with fine sawing work so that it does not appear heavy despite its imposing size. A deep blue sapphire is set in its center. Together with the bright white of the platinum and the diamonds, this creates a wonderful contrast. An elegant jewel that has lost none of its beauty even after a century.
