In 1902, August Verneuil developed a previously unthinkable technique for cultivating gemstones that revolutionized the world of jewelry at the beginning of the century. The spinels developed in the laboratory were almost indistinguishable from natural sapphires and rubies in terms of structure and color and became the "dernier cri", the "must have" of the fashion world. The gemstone in this Art Deco ring is such a synthetic spinel, which was cultivated using the then new Verneuil process and boasts a beautiful color, the blue of aquamarine. Gemstones obtained using the Verneuil process were particularly popular in the Art Deco era. They are still frequently found today, particularly in pendants and rings. The Art Déco design presents the stone in a classic scissor cut in a voluminous red gold setting from the late Art Déco period. It was created around 1935 in one of the manufactories in Pforzheim, which supplied the whole of Europe with high-quality jewelry.
