Jade with the classification "Jadeite" is considered one of the most desirable gemstones of all. In Chinese culture it is believed that jade brings health, success and a long life in harmony with nature - it is therefore not uncommon for good jade to be weighed out with gold there. A life without a piece of jade jewellery is still unthinkable in large parts of the Chinese population. Jade is supposed to convey the feeling of balance in life, as well as bring harmony, beauty and happiness into the consciousness of the wearer. A round cabochon of polished jadeite of beautiful green colour forms the focal point of the ring here. The ring itself is made of white gold and thanks to its fineness stamp we can say that it was made in Germany. A total of 16 diamonds are grouped around the jade as an entourage, and fine bars make up the gallery of the white gold ring. The ring was probably made in the 1960s. We discovered it in Hamburg. A detailed appraisal from the German Gemstone Evaluation Society comes with the ring and confirms the naturalness of the jade.

China, the "Land of Smiles", has always fascinated Europe with its millennia-old culture. It is impossible to imagine European art of the last centuries without chinoiseries, Chinese arts and crafts, especially porcelain, were a status symbol at all European courts and a sign of discriminating taste. At the beginning of the 20th century, when long-distance travel became easier, trade relations could be expanded and the Middle Kingdom moved closer, genuine Chinese arts and crafts became affordable for the middle classes. There are many examples of the intensive reception of Far Eastern art by European artists in those years. The close connection of French Art Nouveau with the art of the Far East through the mediation of Siegfried Bing in Paris is famous, for example.
