F. & F. Felger Art Deco Platinum, Emerald and Diamond Ring, Circa 1925
An exceptionally elegant Art Deco platinum ring by the celebrated American jewellery maker F. & F. Felger, dating to circa 1925. Centred on a richly coloured cabochon emerald and highlighted with diamonds, the ring has the refined geometry, fine workmanship, and confident use of colour that define the finest jewellery of the Jazz Age.
The smooth, softly domed emerald provides a beautiful contrast to the crisp sparkle of the surrounding diamonds and the cool, luminous platinum setting. Its cabochon cut gives the central stone depth and presence, while the diamond detailing brings light and precision to the composition. Together, these elements create a design that is both distinctly of its period and remarkably wearable today.
F. & F. Felger was a distinguished Newark, New Jersey, jewellery manufacturer, recognised for finely made pieces in platinum, gold, diamonds, and coloured stones. The firm supplied jewellery to leading American retailers during the early 20th century, and signed examples bearing the `FFF` maker's mark are increasingly sought after by collectors for their quality, individuality, and enduring design.
This ring is a particularly appealing example of American Art Deco jewellery: sophisticated in scale, luxurious in material, and beautifully balanced between the saturated green of the emerald and the brilliance of the diamonds. The emerald has a small flaw, reflected in the price and shown in the photographs; it does not detract from the ring's overall beauty or impressive period character.
