Vintage Hallmarked Lapis Lazuli Modernist Style Ring
Lovely, Vintage, unique, striking, unusual, Modernist, pick your adjective. But however described we think it truly is one-of-a-kind and beautifully made.
We should all be so lucky as to travel as much as this ring. We acquired on O'ahu, but we're told it arrived here from Australia. But it bears a London Hallmark, and that Hallmark designates it was imported to the UK. It is stamped with the London Year Mark for 1975, about 50 years old. Lots of miles. Been lots of places. But now it's taking a short rest at Aloha Estate Jewelry. It also bears the Makers Mark HJH but despite our searching our European, Australian, and other World Catalogs we were unable to identify the maker. Too bad, the maker did such a great job on this ring!
This is a 9 Carat setting which tells us Europe or Australia. It is hand crafted. Our first impressions was that of a Castle Tower, or the Rook Piece on a Chessboard. The styling stirs the imagination. It is inset with a very nice Lapis Lazuli Cabochon that is highly polished top and bottom. Deep Sea Blue with flecks of Gold Pyrite. Very nice in combination.
This ring has a measure East-West and North-South of approximately 12mm - nice presence. It is a size 6.5 (6 1/2) and has a weight of approximately 4 grams. Nothing to think about - grab it.
