Description

An independent line of development in Art Deco was the so-called Streamline Moderne, which abandoned the playful ornamentation of Art Deco in favour of an aerodynamic design based on clear lines. The new, powerful forms of this so-called "retro style" were intended to emphasise movement and speed and were based on scientific findings. Within a very short space of time, the designers modernised the appearance of watches, radios, telephones, cars, furniture and many other everyday objects. This ring speaks this powerful design language: the ring is made of red gold and has a staggered, ascending ring head in the centre. A band of small rubies in white gold provides a colourful accent at its centre. The elegant gold surfaces reflect the light in a variety of ways. According to its hallmark, the ring was created around 1940 in the former Czechoslovakia. This is confirmed by its hallmarks, which were only in use in this form between 1929 and 1941.

The 1930s brought a new style to the world of jewellery with Art Deco: geometric abstractions, luxurious materials and luxurious fittings were sought after and supplied by goldsmiths in Paris, London and Vienna as well as by their counterparts in Berlin and overseas. The longer and wider the style spread in the process, the more the forms evolved. In Paris and the USA, for example, a special form of late Art Deco emerged in the years after 1930, which in the USA is called "retro" jewellery: The forms become stronger, more physical, the volumes larger and the jewellery once again more magnificent. The fashion of the time preferred pieces of jewelry made of yellow gold to those made of platinum or white gold, the surfaces were fanned out geometrically and the jewels were almost cubistic.
