Description from the seller
Vintage Yellow Gold Sculptural Modernist Ring – Circa 1960s–1970s – EU 53
A highly distinctive vintage yellow gold ring featuring a bold circular face with an abstract floral or radiating sculptural composition.
The upper section is constructed from irregular textured and polished gold elements arranged in a complex three-dimensional formation. Geometric forms, bead-like details and engraved surfaces create considerable depth, with the appearance changing noticeably depending on the direction of the light.
The design has a strong Modernist and Brutalist character, with an emphasis on sculptural form, surface texture and asymmetry rather than conventional jewellery construction. The circular face has an almost architectural quality, combining raised polished details with recessed and finely textured areas.
The substantial band provides a balanced foundation for the large decorative upper section while remaining comfortable and wearable. Light surface marks and signs of previous use are visible, consistent with the age and vintage character of the piece.
