Elegant Ring in White Gold and Platinum with 1.63 Ct Diamonds, Vienna, ca. 1925

In the 1920s, Vienna was a city caught between eras. The imperial residence was a thing of the past, yet the splendor of its salons, theaters, and ballrooms lived on. At the same time, a new, modern design language had taken hold: the flowing lines of Art Nouveau gave way to clearer contours, balanced symmetries, and the cool elegance of Art Deco. This ring was created during those years. At its center is a white diamond of approximately 0.79 carats in a historic old-cut style. The hand-cut facets give the stone a lively, softer sparkle that differs markedly from the uniform light of modern brilliant-cut diamonds. Another 24 old-cut diamonds, totaling approximately 0.82 carats, surround the center stone and coalesce into a festive display of white light, separated only by dramatic shadow lines and milgrains. Eight small diamond roses add delicately shimmering accents. The ring is crafted from 14-karat gold; its front face is made of platinum. This combination, characteristic of high-quality diamond jewellery of the period, unites the stability of gold with the cool luster of platinum. The settings recede visually, so that when worn, almost only the diamonds—totaling approximately 1.63 carats in beautiful old cuts—remain visible. An expressive Art Deco jewel that was created in Vienna and found its way to us from there.
