Description

A special form of jewellery experienced its heyday in the 1970s: artists' jewelry. In contrast to industrial mass-produced goods, sculptors in particular were now also creating pieces of jewelry as small-scale works of art, taking the formal language of jewelry design to a new, artistic level. This piece also shows the skill of the goldsmith in its composition and workmanship: the ring is made of high-carat yellow gold and has a large, almost square ring face with a sculptural quality. The high frame encloses a central field in which a beautiful opal shines in a variety of colors. It is accompanied by small gold spheres and two white diamonds. The abstract composition has a powerful and organic effect. Every detail of the design shows the goldsmith as an artist and sculptor, and the craftsmanship of the hand is evident in every detail. The piece of jewelry comes from a goldsmith who has signed the ring with the mark "KW". Unfortunately, we do not yet know who actually made the ring. However, it is definitely a work of art that can be worn on the body, whose heavy materiality is just as impressive as its sophisticated design.
