Surya Rutten

An exquisite sterling silver ring crafted in the Byzantine Revival style, likely originating from the Eastern Mediterranean or Balkan region, mid-20th century. This masterfully designed piece features an open-ended, adjustable band culminating in two opposing bulbous terminals richly decorated with intricate silver granulation and vibrant enamel work.

The deep cobalt blue enamel base is enhanced with teardrop-shaped green accents and delicate silver bead detailing, echoing the opulence and symmetrical floral motifs of Middle Byzantine jewelry. Each terminal is distinctly adorned, providing dimensionality and ornamental balance. The interior of the band bears a “925” hallmark, indicating its composition of sterling silver.

This ring exemplifies the craftsmanship and historical romanticism of 20th-century revivalist jewelry, where ancient styles were reimagined with modern sensibilities. Ideal for collectors of period jewelry or aficionados of antique-inspired adornments.

Materials:
Sterling Silver (hallmarked 925), vitreous enamel in blue and green tones

Dimensions:
Inner diameter: approx. 2.2 cm (adjustable)
