Unusual Ring with Diamonds & Jadeite in White Gold, circa 1940

Description

Late Deco jewellery often surprises us with unusual arrangements of classic materials. Diamonds and white precious metals are presented to us from a new, almost sculpturally conceived perspective and often combined with a color-intensive, selected coloured stone. This ring is no exception: it interprets the timeless theme of the cluster ring in an original, perfectly crafted and strikingly beautiful way. A transitional cut half carat diamond, the direct predecessor of the modern brilliant cut resp. full cut, is at the center of the design. It is surrounded by a perfectly fitted ring of jadeite jade cut from a single piece. The octagonal shape is based on the setting of the half carat. Around the outside are set smaller brilliant-cut diamonds, which sit in settings lined with millegrains. The ring is powerfully and sculpturally designed. The ring shoulder and gallery, for instance, are formed of elegant volutes that betray the sculptural, neoclassical taste of those years, as it was also expressed in the fine arts. Gone was the desire for delicate, slender forms as in the early 1920s. Now jewellery had to be eye-catching, take up space and have a presence. The ring is a wonderful and original piece of jewelry from an eventful time. It is also very well preserved.
