AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lapponia 14K Gold Ring with Pearl – 1979 (B8) – Finland
Original vintage ring from the Finnish design manufacturer Lapponia, manufactured in 1979 (year code B8).
The design shows the organic-sculptural language of form typical for Laponia from the late 1970s: irregularly textured gold surfaces with a nature-inspired, almost archaic grace. The small, harmoniously integrated pearl is deliberately not set in a classical way, but appears to be "grown into" the gold structure – a characteristic feature of Scandinavian modernism.
