To find out more about the gemstones in this ring:
Provenance
Made during the 1970s, this intriguing ring is set to centre with a natural green beryl with excellent clarity and a beautifully soft shade of green. Claw-set in an open-back setting, slightly raised with a pierced gallery. Flanked by shoulders featuring gold hammered work with an abstract effect.
The design is very typical of late 1960s to 1970s contemporary jewellery design, especially with artists such as the legendary Andrew Grima experimenting with obscure textures and techniques in his approach to modern design. The shoulders taper to a solid D-shape shank, hand-engraved on the interior with the name Kate Highton, 1896, 12.8.1973'.
