14k Gold & Aventurine Ring by Elis Kauppi for Kupittaan Kulta, Finland

Dating to 1967, this striking rare 14K solid gold ring features four beautiful polished aventurine arranged in a distinctive sculptural setting. The geometric gold framework and bold, architectural form exemplify the experimental spirit of mid-century Finnish jewellery.

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 the Finnish hallmarks: anvil motif (designer/maker), heart motif (Finland) '585' (14k gold) town motif (Turku/Abo) & 'O7' (year)

It is in excellent vintage condition (outstanding for age). The stones sit securely in their settings and the band retains its original shape.

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.
