When, after the long years of war, food shortages, currency reform and the first reconstruction, the lust for life returned to German cities and living rooms, when the economic miracle made the first new prosperity possible in the centers of industry and commerce, the art of jewellery design also awoke to new life after many years of dreamless slumber. This vintage ring is striking and clear. The ring in slightly reddish gold widens and forms a high dome. It showcases nine brilliant-cut diamonds with a total weight of around 0.79 carats. The stones are set in a style that emerged in Great Britain in the 1870s. Instead of the usual prongs or bezels, the stones were now set flush into the precious metal. The goldsmith then carved small channels around the stone like rays. The resulting chips, shaped into small grains, hold the stone securely in place. The result looks like a sparkling star and is also extremely practical: as you don't get caught anywhere with this setting, it is very comfortable to wear. So it's no wonder that this setting technique, which was called "gypsy setting" by contemporaries (today it is usually referred to as "flush setting"), came into fashion. Our ring is a fine example of the enduring popularity of this type of gemstone setting in the 1950s. The opulent ring is in very good condition. Unfortunately, due to its design, it cannot be resized.
