Glamorous Mid-Century Ring with Diamonds in White Gold, c. 1955

Cocktail parties, opera balls, film premieres and grand receptions - with the end of the post-war period, scarcity and the first signs of reconstruction, social life throughout Europe began to pick up again. And with it - finally - the demand for magnificent jewellery returned. This ring from Germany in the 1950s is a typical example of the life-hungry aesthetic of the time. In this decade, the distinction between day and evening jewelry, which had already been established in the 19th century, continued - in some cases it was even more strictly applied. For evening events, only diamonds in white gold or platinum settings were considered appropriate, sometimes complemented by individual rubies, sapphires or emeralds. This ring from around 1955 also shines in elegant white: crafted from white gold, it has a curved ring face that is set crosswise and widens dynamically towards the center. Octagonal and brilliant-cut diamonds transform the piece of jewelry into a veritable firework of light reflections, which are grouped around a central stone of very good quality - 0.75 ct, white (Wesselton, H), vvsi. In total, the very pure gemstones weigh around 1.50 carats. The ring is in excellent condition and came to us from Bonn. An independent appraisal has confirmed the quality of the diamonds.
