Vintage Modernist Tiger's Eye Steps Ring in 14k Gold
* * SOLD * *



A vintage modernist ring, imagined as a series of three, staggered, oval steps, each inlaid with a slab of polished, highly-chatoyant tiger's eye. These oval platforms sit on different planes, supported by a wirework frame, and they overlap slightly--- two granulated gold beads add textural contrast. The ring shank is composed of three round gold wires that are connected at the base, and split at the shoulder. This is a very cool modernist jewel, both earthy and intellectual. Marked 14k & 585, for purity.
