18k Gold & Smoky Quartz Ring by Ateljé Stigbert, Stockholm

This absolutely beautiful Modernist ring features a solid 18k gold band that elegantly frames a gorgeous fantasy-cut smoky quartz. It was designed by Ateljé Stigbert, Stockholm (an offshoot of Heribert Engelbert Ab) and handcrafted in 1971. 

Established in the early 1940s by goldsmith Stig Engelbert, Ateljé Stigbert gained acclaim for its distinctive mid-century and Modernist jewelry pieces. Engelbert, like other prominent Swedish goldsmiths of the era such as Sigurd Persson—who also contributed designs to Ateljé Stigbert—received his education in Germany, primarily at the 'Kunstgewerbeschule' in Pforzheim.

The band is fully stamped with the Swedish hallmarks 'HE' (maker), Stockholm motif, three crowns motif (Sweden), '18k' (material), 'V9' (year) & 'Stigbert'.

This ring is in excellent vintage condition (outstanding for age). The stone sits firmly in its setting and the band retains its original shape. The natural smoky quartz (16mm diameter) remains whole and smooth. 

The band is a medium size. It is an AU size N (EU 53.8 & US 6.75) with a 17.1mm internal diameter. If you're unsure about sizing, it is recommended that you measure a ring you currently wear to see if you're a similar size. The band can be resized.
