Futuristic Ring with Diamonds in White Gold, c. 1975

What had begun in the 1960s as a game with textured metal surfaces finally developed into a design language around 1970 that used traditional materials and left all familiar shapes and patterns behind. The age of technological progress thus also reached the field of jewellery: the "Space Age" was the inspiration behind the modern designs of the time. White metals reminiscent of the gleaming struts of satellites, futuristic abstractions, cosmic-looking diamond constellations. This is also presented in this ring. One large brilliant cut diamond weighing 0.52 ct forms the center of the design. A truncated cone of white gold struts lifts it up high and appears like the launch pad of a rocket. A ring of eight further diamonds forms the lower end of the towering design. The simple rail is angular and polished to a mirror finish. It complements the almost sculptural impression of the ring, making the piece appear surprisingly modern. The ring is crafted from high-carat white gold, the preferred precious metal of the time. The ring is a particularly expressive example of the jewellery fashion of the 1970s and beautifully captures the current events of its time. As a child of its time, it presents the diamonds in an unusual and original way.
