The Alice and Louis Koch Collection of finger rings was originally
collated by a jeweller from Frankfurt am Main, once described as
the German 'Cartier and Faberge'. By 1909 the collection comprised
1,722 rings from Antiquity to 1900. Rene Lalique, a contemporary of
the time, was included, undoubtedly as a moderniser of the ring
form. In the past twenty-five years the fourth generation of the
family continued where Louis Koch and his wife Alice left off and
expanded the collection to include rings from the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. This publication will present the complete
collection of contemporary rings, now kept in the Swiss National
Museum, Zurich. Nearly 600 rings by artist jewellers from around
the world document how these miniature works of art have become
modern sculptures showcasing new materials and techniques, daring
designs and current themes. Text in English and German.
