All auctions / Jewellery & Gems / Fine Colombian Emerald and Diamond Déco Ring, French, c. 1930s
In recent decades, numerous new gemstone deposits have been discovered and developed around the globe through luck and calculated research. In Africa in particular, many gemstones have since been mined that were previously only found in other parts of the world and usually only in small quantities. Rubies, for example, are no longer only found in Burma, but also in Madagascar and Mozambique, opals are no longer only found in Australia, but also in Ethiopia and emeralds are no longer only found in Colombia, but also in Zimbabwe and Zambia. These new deposits often produce very beautiful stones. And yet it is something else to own a gemstone from one of the classic sources. The color and beauty of emeralds from Colombia, for example, remain unmatched. And last but not least, the long history and tradition of this special tropical treasure is only associated with such a stone. This ring demonstrates the special quality of such a stone. A setting of more than 1.50 ct of diamonds showcases a first-class emerald from Colombia. The stone is clear and has an intense, magnificent color that immediately transports us to the rainforests where it was once discovered. The cut with a large table allows the eye to glide wonderfully into the stone, where seductive light reflections make this treasure of nature shine. The platinum and white gold setting speaks the powerful, confident design language of Art Deco. The round of diamonds echoes the shape of the emerald, while a narrow band of smaller diamonds lies along the axis of the ring band and gives direction to the otherwise round design. All here is bright light - even if the diamonds in different old cuts are probably older than the ring itself. However, this is typical of jewellery from the 1930s, when gemstones from family estates were often used in new pieces of jewelry. We discovered the ring in the south of France. The independent certificates of quality and origin of the gemstones are enclosed with the ring.
