Precious Art Déco Ring with Untreated Sapphire & Diamonds, c. 1930

This platinum ring is a real gem that was created in the glamorous Art Deco era in the French metropolis of Paris. At its center, a natural sapphire weighing around 15.00 carats sparkles in a beguiling hue: its delicate blue makes the stone look like a view of the spring sky over the Seine. The quality of the natural sapphire is also reflected in the fact that it has not been heated to improve its purity or color - its beautiful appearance is therefore solely the work of nature. Sapphires weighing over ten carats, like this one, are absolute lucky finds. To make sure that the gemstone in our ring is a natural and untreated sapphire, we commissioned an appraisal from the German Gemstone Appraisal Society in Idar-Oberstein. The gemstone is cut as a tall, oval cabochon and is held in a detailed setting that does justice to its beauty. Arabesque sawing work and a total of 124 white diamonds dissolve the curved side sections into an ethereal play of white light reflections. Fine millegrains further enrich the design and take away any heaviness from the rather large goldsmith's work. Lose yourself in the play of colors of this first-class jewel and let your mind wander to a carefree spring day in Paris!
