Unusual Sapphire & Diamond Ring Made of Antique Earrings, c. 1900/1955

Description

In previous generations, those who wanted to own jewellery in line with the latest fashion did not always simply go to a jeweler to buy a finished piece. It was far more common to go to a goldsmith to have a new piece of jewelry made according to one's own ideas and in consultation with the craftsman. We can observe a typical procedure time and again: Instead of creating the new pieces completely from scratch, existing gemstones and sometimes even entire pieces of jewelry were often incorporated into the design. In this way, new jewels were created that continued the history of their own family and could be as traditional as they were modern. This ring from the 1950s shows that this approach was not only common in the 19th century, but can also be found again and again later. The ring, which is presented here in the brilliance of small diamonds and two dark blue sapphires, unites different generations. The opposing ring face with split ring shoulders holds two oval elements in the center, each with a dark blue sapphire in an entourage of old-cut diamonds. We believe that the two showpieces with the sapphire and the diamonds were originally a small pair of earrings from around 1900, possibly old family jewelry that was reworked into a ring. The ring band in matching rose gold was added around two generations later. This cross-generational piece of jewelry came to us from Stuttgart and is a unique piece with its very own history.
