A piece of contemporary jewellery: the Art Déco ladies' ring with aquamarine
Like a shining fragment of the past, this elegant ring tells of the opulence and cool sophistication of Art Déco. Crafted around 1930, it is a masterpiece in 585 yellow and white gold that epitomises the clean lines and geometric shapes of the era.
A faceted aquamarine sits enthroned in the centre of the design, its octagonal shape reflecting the essence of Art Déco. At around 8 carats, it unfolds a world of colour reminiscent of the depths of a cool, clear mountain lake - a fascinating blue that captures the light in every movement and returns it with shimmering elegance. Embedded in a frame of radiant white gold and held by gleaming prongs, the stone looks like a precious block of ice that has been frozen in its flawless beauty.
The ring shoulders, also in white gold, add a subtle, playful touch to the austere design: Delicate arches sweep artfully from the ring shank to the setting of the stone. These ornamental details are like a whisper of bygone eras, accentuating the simple yet powerful character of the ring.
A piece of jewellery like this is not only a contemporary witness to the goldsmith's art of the early 20th century, but also a tribute to the women who had the courage to celebrate their individuality in a world of change and modernity. It is a ring that tells stories - of elegance, of style and of a time when the beauty of geometric shapes and bright colours became a symbol of progress and freedom.
