Antique Ring with Diamonds in Gold & Platinum, c. 1905

Rings with delicately curved bands, featuring precious gemstones or pearls at their ends, first appeared c. 1900. Inspired by the dynamic forms of Art Nouveau, these jewellery fashions quickly became a huge success. It’s no wonder that such designs remained in vogue well into the 1940s, despite all other shifts in taste. This delicate ring, which holds three diamonds between its arms, was crafted around 1905. The sparkling old-cut diamonds, with a total weight of c. 0.82 ct, are arranged in a diagonal line across the ring band. The ring band itself widens at its center into two delicate, platinum-plated clasps. The curves, shaped like delicate leaves, are set with octagonal diamonds and securely hold the large diamonds. The diamond settings are also made of platinum and shine with an elegant white hue. The visible ring band, on the other hand, is crafted from gold, giving the ring a warm radiance despite its brilliant luster. With its pronounced dynamism and interplay of light, this piece of jewellery reflects the style of the early 20th century. We discovered this beautiful ring in Vienna—and that is likely where it was crafted.
