Elegant "Retro" Ring With Pearl & Diamonds in Gold, ca. 1950

In jewellery, as in fashion, shapes and trends are subject to constant change. What was unfashionable just a moment ago can be all the rage again the very next moment. This phenomenon can also be seen in the development of Art Deco. While cool platinum undisputedly dominated the jewellery world in the 1920s and early '30s, coloured gold experienced an astonishing comeback starting in 1935. In the course of the so-called "Retro Jewellery", the once delicate shapes also became significantly more voluminous and gave jewellery an expressive presence that remained current until the post-war period. The ring here speaks to this powerful design language: it is forged of yellow gold and presented across the finger. The large ring face bears accents of bright white gold. A large, particularly high-quality cultured pearl with a beautiful luster shimmers in the center. Twelve glittering diamonds accompany the sea treasure and add white highlights to the piece of jewellery. The ring was created in the years around 1950. It is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted piece that is an unmissable eye-catcher with its characterful shape. "Retro" chic for the finger!
