Description from the seller
18 karat yellow gold tank ring set with a rectangular faceted spinel which is set in an open setting. The ring features openworked details.
The history of the tank ring
Tank rings were popular between 1935 and 1950, during and after World War II. From this conflict arose this ring, which symbolized the 40s.
Gold and gemstones were indeed scarce, or even entirely absent, on the jewelry market. Therefore it was more practical to melt the found gold into a ring, making it easier to transport. From this, the voluminous tank ring emerged, recognizable by its Art Deco style. With its extensive geometric lines, numerous patterns and gemstones, it is a piece of jewelry that does not go unnoticed. The name refers to the tanks used during the war. This explains the impressive size and the very structured appearance.
Ring size: approx. 16.00 mm / 50 (EU) / 10 (IT) / 5 ¼ US
Width of the centerpiece: approx. 10 mm
Gemstone size spinel: approx. 7 x 10 mm.
Assay mark: 750
Quality: The gemstones may be synthetic. Gemstones are often treated to enhance color or clarity. This has not been investigated for this specific object. For your own impression, see the photos.
