Vintage Ring with Colombian Emerald & Diamonds, c. 1970

Description

This enchanting ring radiates the elegance and optimism of post-war modernity. An intense green emerald occupies its centre and is embedded in white diamonds. The gemstone weighs around 1.30 ct carats and is shaped in a classic staircase cut. Its inclusions give it a soft glow - and also prove that it comes from Colombia, the classic and best origin for emeralds. This shape of cut allows the gemstone's colour to come into its own particularly well thanks to the large central table. The emerald is held by delicate prongs and appears to float in the square ring head. Sixteen small diamonds totalling around 0.40 ct unfold a shimmering play of light around the emerald. The diamonds contrast in white with the green of the centre stone. The settings are made of platinum, the ring shank of high-carat white gold. The bright shine of the resulting piece of jewellery ideally complements the play of colours of the gemstone setting. The ring came to us from Paris. An independent expert opinion has confirmed the quality of the materials.

Jewellery from the 1960s is characterised by optimism and a belief in progress. After the organic shapes of the 1950s, a new desire for geometry returned in the decade of the race to the moon. Rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings - the colour of the decade was once again white, like the stars, often combined with blue, like the night sky. Occasionally, other coloured stones in primary colours can be found alongside sapphires, but it is above all the cool sparkle of diamonds combined with white gold that makes the jewellery of this period so appealing. The settings of the designs break away from the heavy lust for shiny yellow gold of late Art Deco and increasingly open up into a network of white gold rods. The filigree structures of space equipment, the antennae of Sputnik, but also the skeletal structures of the new skyscrapers may have been the inspiration here. It was not for nothing that a brooch with the name ‘Cosmos’ won the Jewellery of the Year award in 1967. And each individual piece of jewellery is characterised by lightness, light and elegance.
