Hand Forged Gold Ring With Green Tourmaline & Diamonds, c. 1985

The beauty of unique goldsmith's work is that its variety of forms is infinite. Only the imagination of the designer sets the limits and it is a pleasure to trace this imaginative energy and to consider what thought may have been behind a design. In this yellow and white gold ring, we see a quality bottle green tourmaline as the protagonist. The gemstone sits in a gold frame and is held by a solid ring band that swings out to great effect. A drop of white gold joins the green stone and seems to wash over it like a drop of fresh clear water. Six brilliant cut diamonds of excellent quality are set into it, making the ring sparkle. The ring's asymmetrical design and exciting combination of materials give it a dynamic design, in which the love of water and the lush green of the woods may have played a role. We discovered the well-preserved goldsmith's work here in Berlin.
