全部拍賣 / Jewelry & Gems / Extravagant Cocktail Ring with Large Turquoise in Gold, c. 1950


Special powers have been attributed to turquoise since time immemorial. The ancient Egyptians, for example, carved small animal figures from the sky-blue stone, which were worn as lucky talismans. In the Middle Ages, it was believed that turquoise could prevent falls from horses and protect the wearer from poisons of all kinds. In the Baroque era, the gemstone was worn almost exclusively by men, and a high-quality turquoise was naturally part of a gentleman's wardrobe. What all eras have in common, however - and this is still true today - is that it is above all the special color of this mineral that captivates at first glance. This is also true of the turquoise in this ring: the turquoise is an intense blue-green with broad black veins. It appears as a large, elongated cabochon that can cover more than one entire phalanx. The turquoise is set in yellow gold in a simple and straightforward design. The cocktail ring, which was created in the 1950s, has a striking presence. And who knows? Maybe there is something to the old stories after all!
