AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This ring is a 925 sterling silver modernist piece designed by the
internationally recognized Norwegian duo Studio Else & Paul.
*Designers: Else Berntsen Hughes (1938–2002) and Paul C. Hughes,
who established their studio in Hadeland, Norway, in 1959.
*Design Style: Known for its "brutalist" or "mid-century modernist" aesthetic,
the ring features a sculptural, abstract, and textured organic lattice design.
*Construction: The ring is typically handmade using the lost-wax casting method
and features a distinctive two-part (split) band that allows for slight size adjustment.
*Markings: Authentic pieces are usually stamped with marks such as "Studio Else & Paul,"
"Norway," "Sterling," and "925 S".
The ring is 18mm in diameter, 18 mm hight
It looks like something found in nature, such as cooled lava, charred wood, or weathered rock.
Tactile Texture: The surface is heavily worked with deep "oxidized" recessed areas that contrast against the high-polished raised ridges. This creates a dramatic "chiaroscuro" effect (the play between light and shadow).
The "undulating" rim is uneven, which enhances its handmade, artisanal feel.
Open Shank: The back of the band features an open "bypass" design, which allows for slight size adjustment while maintaining the chunky profile of the ring.
*History & Significance:
The studio gained international fame after being honored at the Design Triennale exhibitions in Milan in 1960. Their work is celebrated for its artistic expression, which was often influenced by primitive cultures and modern abstract art.
