Déco Ring with Diamonds and Green Agates in Platinum, Berlin, c. 1925

Art Déco not only played with elegant geometric shapes but also accentuated them through contrasts: green agates and white diamonds, for example, in this ring from around 1925 enhance each other’s effect, just as delicate milgrains enrich the white platinum with a play of subtle shadows. Particularly avant-garde jewels combined diamonds with cut bands of colored gemstones—a completely new, previously unseen aesthetic. This ring was already a quintessential example of modernism at the time of its creation. It is a so-called “plaque ring,” typical of the Art Deco period. This ring design, with its generous, nearly rectangular ring face, is perfectly suited to showcasing the delicate craftsmanship of that era. Handcrafted from solid platinum and meticulously finished, even the sides of the ring feature fine hand-engravings. At the center of the design is a larger round old-cut diamond set in a delicately stepped setting that rises slightly above the flat ring face. Faceted green agates, which almost resemble emeralds, form harmoniously cut bands that symmetrically divide the ring face and are embedded within a field comprising a total of 23 diamonds. According to its previous owner, the ring was crafted in Berlin and had been in the family for about a hundred years before it came to us. The piece of jewellery is very good in condition and is a prime example of elegant, innovative Art Déco jewellery!
