Like many pieces of jewellery from the 1950s and 1960s, the present ring still hints at the expressive design language of the late Art Déco and retro style. Retro style. After the unrestricted dominance of platinum and the preference for white pieces of jewellery, yellow gold and gemstones in bold colours were once again favoured from the 1940s onwards - a fashion that remained mandatory for a long time after the war. The yellow gold band of the ring widens towards the top and is divided into individual bands that form a dynamic swirl motif. At its centre, the ring presents a green tourmaline in a classic staircase cut. The green variety of tourmaline, which occurs in many other colours, is also known as verdelite. Four small octagonal diamonds in white gold settings further enliven the ring head. The ring is a beautiful example of how jewellery was used in the first two decades of the Federal Republic to showcase the new joie de vivre to the outside world. According to the hallmark, the ring is the work of the goldsmiths Julius Graef and Co, which operated under the name ‘Graeco’ in Idar-Oberstein until the 1990s.
