Toutes les enchères / Bijouterie & Joaillerie / Fine Sapphire and Diamond Dress Ring in Platinum, c. 1930


The term "cocktail ring" probably only came into use in the late 1930s. Prior to this, large, purely decorative rings were usually referred to as "dress rings" or "dinner rings". The former usually featured a large colored stone that was intended to complement the dress that gave it its name. As Harper's Bazaar wrote in 1929: "It is no longer seen that two or three rings are worn on each finger. Elegant society wears a diamond band as a wedding ring and a large solitaire ring, usually a diamond, as an engagement ring, and then perhaps another dress ring to enhance the effect of the dress." Which midnight blue dress might a society lady once have worn this ring with? It has a deep blue sapphire in its center in the classic emerald cut. Although synthetic sapphires already existed at the time and were often used, this is a natural stone. The clever cut hides a slight color zoning in the edge area. A ring of diamonds and sapphires in fine settings give the gemstone the appearance of being embedded in lace. The elegant ring has been very well preserved. It would also make a beautiful engagement ring.
