A super rare vintage 1970s handmade sterling silver and rhodonite modernist asymmetrical geometric design cocktail ring designed by Pekka Piekainen during his time at the Kaunis Koru design studio in Helsinki, Finland. An exceptional ring in all regards! Large size, incredible design, superbly crafted, and incredibly rare! The Kaunis Koru workshop is known for its beautiful jewelry, and this ring is a great example of the finest! They are also know for using top quality stones, and the rhodonite cabochon in this ring is a beautiful example with an almost even split between the pink and the black areas. Also, notice that the stone is set at an angle to the plane of the 'dish' section of the ring, and that the bezel tapers around the stone adding to the asymmetrical design! Subtle but glorious detail! Measures just over 1-1/4" diameter at top, rises 3/8" above the finger, size 8, and weighs a substantial 14.2 grams total. The stone measures 1/2" in diameter. Marked as shown with Kaunis Koru studio mark, silversmith mark for Olavi Wehmersuo, the Finnish national mark for silver, "925H" for sterling silver (the H stands for the Finnish word for silver, "Hopea"), Helsinki city mark, and date letter "T7" for 1972. Kaunis Koru was a design studio, so they never made the items themselves, they contracted with local silversmiths, in this case Wehmersuo. Over the years, most of the greats of Finnish Silver design worked at Kaunis Koru including Pekka Piekainen, Bjorn Weckstrom, Mirjam Salminen, Paula Häiväoja, and many others. I have been a fan of Finnish Design for many years, in particular the metal arts and jewelry, and I have never seen this ring design before or since! Super rare design no doubt created by Piekainen in the 1960s, this example made a bit later in the early 1970s. Excellent vintage condition.
