{"product_id":"art-deco-polish-14k-white-gold-amethyst-diamond-ring-c-1925","title":"Polish Art Deco Amethyst Ring","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eA striking and highly unusual Art Deco ring made in Poland during the 1920’s; a period marked by bold experimentation in jewellery design as Poland regained independence after 123 years of partitions. The re-establishment of a national goldsmithing tradition created a brief but remarkable flowering of artistic production; pieces from this era often show exceptional craftsmanship in small workshops, made for an emerging modern, urban clientele. This ring is a perfect example of such refined, individualistic work.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAt its centre sits an extraordinary amethyst of approx 6cts, cut in a highly uncommon angular, shield-like faceted shape; this distinctive geometry is very much in keeping with the avant-garde tendencies of the mid-1920s, when jewellers embraced sharp lines and architectural silhouettes. The gemstone displays a cool, saturated purple with excellent clarity, and is held in a smooth white-gold bezel that frames the stone beautifully.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe shoulders are set with small round diamonds in millegrain-beaded settings; a classic detail of the period that adds precision and sparkle without interrupting the bold central form. The gallery is wonderfully open and architectural; again, characteristic of the Art Deco period and intended to maximise the play of light through the amethyst.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eHallmarked with the Polish \u003cem\u003eknight’s head\u003c\/em\u003e and the number \u003cem\u003e3\u003c\/em\u003e, indicating 583 fineness (14K white gold) used between 1920–1931; the maker’s mark depicts a fish.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eA rare and elegant jewel; the unusual gemstone cut, combined with its clear Art Deco lines and Polish origin, make it a particularly special survivor from this short, fascinating era of design.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe ring measures UK size L½ ; US size 6.
