It's hard to imagine the jewellery world of the turbulent 1920s without the onyx and diamond plaque ring. It captures the Art Deco aesthetic like no other combination of materials. Not only the harsh contrast of the two non-colors, but also the use of black onyx as pure adornment i modern; still in the 19th century, onyx was used mainly for mourning jewellery The ring here is an unusual variation on the theme, as the central diamond is designed in a hexagonal fancy cut. The cut elicits wonderful brilliance and fire from the diamond, which measures approximately 0.82 ct. It stands out luminously against the backdrop of shiny black polished onyx, held in place by a restrained frame lined with millegrains. Four more small diamonds in the four corners of the onyx make the setting look like a picture frame. The ring is forged from white gold, a precious metal patented as recently as 1912. The materials, but also the design and the way of manufacturing let us date the ring to the years around 1925. It was made in Germany, but we were able to discover it in Vienna. It is wonderfully preserved.
