Elegant Ring with Aquamarine & Diamonds in Platinum, from Our Workshop

Aquamarine is the blue variety of the mineral beryl, to which the emerald also belongs. However, while this water-blue stone is very rarely found in 19th-century designs, it became a true fashion gem in the early 20th century. In fact, we owe this development to the widespread introduction of electric lighting, as aquamarine is particularly beautiful under such light. Numerous early 20th-century publications highlight this characteristic of aquamarine: “All beryls are very brilliant under artificial light and are therefore desirable stones for evening wear,” wrote Helen Bartlett Bridgman in 1915, for example. This ring from our workshop features an aquamarine and was created in the spirit of Art Deco jewelry design. Set in fine platinum and accompanied by a total of twelve vintage diamonds, the natural aquamarine at its center shines brightly in its characteristic, wonderful blue hue. Our daily work with historic pieces of jewellery guided us in its design. We had it cast in platinum using traditional techniques and then finished by hand. The result is a modern ring that, with its delicate forms and high-quality craftsmanship, stands in the finest tradition of European jewellery art. The diamonds and platinum come from vintage pieces of jewellery and were intentionally repurposed. The aquamarine itself is being used in a piece of jewellery for the first time. The ring was crafted entirely in Germany.
