Description
Presented for auction is a breathtaking original Art Deco era ring by the legendary American jewelry house, Tiffany & Co. Dating to the height of the Art Deco movement (circa 1920s–1930s), this ring is a superb example of the era’s transition into bold, geometric architecture and vibrant color contrasts. The centerpiece is a magnificent natural amethyst, a gemstone historically favored by royalty and prominently featured in high-society Deco statement pieces for its rich, commanding presence. The setting is crafted from solid 18-karat white gold, an alloy perfected during this period to offer the crisp, icy aesthetic of platinum while providing excellent structural rigidity for elevated, open-work galleries. The stepped shoulders, accented with precise baguette-cut diamonds, perfectly encapsulate the industrial symmetry and modernist elegance that define the finest Tiffany & Co. creations of the 20th century.
