Vintage ring. 18k yellow gold. Made in France, 20th century.  Possibly made for a man, but suitable for either a man or a woman.

Measurements: Weight is 15.7 grams. US size 8. 

Description : A very solid, yellow gold ring that depends entirely on it's bold sculptural design and use of the beauty of the yellow gold, for interest. The center is a voluptious egg shape with scrolling fluted fronds enveloping it, like many fingered soft hands on either side. The fluted, curved shoulders taper towards the back of the shank. Twists and turns. Stylised naturalism was a trademark of Rene Boivin's designs. Strong design and impressive weight. Truly sculptural and timeless.  This ring was made for a woman who knows who she is and has a strong sense of style. Bold, luxurious, voluptious, yet unadorned.  
Subtly impressive luxury. 

Marks and Metal: Signed Rene Boivin behind bezel. Outside of shank with French eagle mark (for 18k gold) and maker's mark lozenge.     

Condition: Good with negligible wear commensurate with age.  Please see enlarged pictures and don't hesitate to ask questions which we will do our best to answer.  

NOTE: color is yellow gold - looks white because of lighting of camera, but is very bright yellow. 

 

                                                                      IMPORTANT NOTE ON METALS:

The metal in antique and vintage jewelry was handmade and not as homogenous as metal from a factory, made today. Digital technology was not available at the time and metals may test at slightly different karats from place to place in the same item or differ slightly from the hallmark punched at the time.

Clasps, closures, bar hinges, arms and pins are routinely of a lower karat for strength.
