This 18k gold aquamarine ring is a striking example of the bold, architectural jewelry produced in the 1970s to early 1980s. At the center sits a large emerald-cut aquamarine with natural internal characteristics, set in a smooth, substantial bezel that highlights the stone’s clear blue color. The wide, sculptural gold shank reflects the clean lines and modernist influences of the period, giving the ring a strong, confident presence on the hand.
The ring is crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and weighs 21.9 grams. It measures 7/8 inch across and 3/4 inch from top to bottom on the face, offering an impressive scale without unnecessary ornamentation. The interior is stamped 18K, consistent with small workshop and studio production of the era. It is currently a size 9.25.
