Antique Boat Ring with Diamonds in Different Cuts, c. 1930

The special fascination of historical diamonds lies in their individual character. No two stones are the same: The color, proportions and brilliance are unique to each stone, and the cut is always chosen to preserve as much material as possible from the rough stone. This ring brings us closer to 29 such diamonds with individuality and history. The stones are cut in very different ways; some of them probably come from different, older pieces of jewellery, while other stones have found their first place in a piece of jewellery here. They were combined in the first half of the 20th century to create this ring in the classic boat shape. The approximately 1.55 ct diamonds are set à jour in silver. The settings are open at the back to give the stones the space they need to sparkle. The goldsmith's work is designed to be flat so that the ring is comfortable to wear. The ring band with sculpturally ornamented ring shoulders is apparently based on a historical model. The ring bears a Viennese import mark and was most likely made in Germany. We discovered it in Hamburg. It is in first-class condition and impresses with its magnificent setting.
