Description
A striking handmade modernist statement ring featuring a substantial sterling silver construction and an elegant mixed-metal design centered around a large bezel-set gemstone.
The wide, heavy sterling silver band supports an impressive round setting measuring approximately 2 cm across, creating a bold architectural silhouette while remaining comfortable to wear. Surrounding the stone is a separately applied solid gold bezel that beautifully frames the cool blue gemstone and adds warmth and contrast to the design.
The stone has been tested with a Presidium gem tester and falls within the jadeite range. Because Presidium testing identifies a range of gemstones rather than confirming an exact species, it is described accordingly.
This ring reflects the clean, sculptural language of late twentieth-century studio jewelry. Its generous proportions, restrained ornamentation, and emphasis on form over decoration give it a distinctly modernist aesthetic, while the combination of sterling silver and solid gold demonstrates thoughtful artisan craftsmanship.
The sterling silver and gold bezel have both been acid tested. The gold successfully passed a 10K acid test, confirming it is at least 10K gold. Because it was not tested beyond 10K and is unmarked, it is described accordingly.
Weighing 14.3 grams, this is a substantial ring with a reassuring solid feel in the hand. It is an excellent choice for collectors of handmade studio jewelry, architectural modernist design, and distinctive artisan rings.
The tone and interpretation of vintage patina can be subjective.
