Unusual Ring With Sapphire & Diamonds From An Antique Brooch, Circa 1920 & Later

Description

Sometimes the history of jewellery is more complex than it may seem at first glance, especially when it comes to reworked pieces. The present ring, for example, apparently uses the centerpiece of an antique brooch as a showpiece, whereby the goldsmith who made it knew how to carefully combine the new ring band and the matching lower band. We believe that today's ring face was originally a long bar brooch from the 1920s with an elaborately crafted centerpiece. Today, this central element of the brooch forms the showpiece of the ring, complemented by a natural blue sapphire in a gold bezel setting weighing just under one carat. Towards the middle, the shape swings outwards, leaving space for a natural dark blue sapphire. Fine milegrains, small diamonds in delicate settings and, last but not least, the clear geometry of the design allow us to date the antique showpiece to the Art Deco period. The interplay of the colours white and blue also makes the newly created ring a cool yet elegant eye-catcher. The ring came to us as it is. We liked its individual design.

In the midst of the ever faster changing world of the years following the Second World War, the artists and craftsmen of Art Deco sought to find a new formal language that would be appropriate for the new era. They rejected the formal language of Art Nouveau, which they found too sweet, too transfigured, and sought geometric rigor. This alone seemed appropriate for the age of automobiles, skyscrapers and express trains.
