14k Gold with Pearl & Diamonds Ring by Elis Kauppi for Kupittaan Kulta, Finland

This elegant original Modernist ring in solid 14k gold features a beautiful natural pearl flanked by two diamonds. It was designed by the famous Elis Kauppi and made by his workshop Kupittaan Kulta in 1969.

Elis Kauppi (1924-2004) is known for his sophisticated Modernist designs that incorporated stones native to Finland. His innovative approach that centred on simplicity and form, put Finland at the forefront of jewellery design during the mid-century period. Kauppi's work has been exhibited internationally, including Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and the Pforzheim Jewellery Museum in Germany.

This ring is fully stamped with Finnish hallmarks: anvil motif (maker), heart motif (Finland) '585' (14k gold) town motif (Turku/Abo) & 'Q7' (year). 

It is in excellent vintage condition (outstanding for age) and the band retains its original shape well. The diamonds have been tested. 

The band is medium sized. It is an AU size O (EU 55 & US 7) with an internal diameter of 17.5mm. 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.
