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

This elegant original Modernist ring features 14k solid gold that holds a beautiful faceted amethyst. It was designed by the famous Elis Kauppi and made by his workshop Kupittaan Kulta in 1968.

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 anvil motif (maker), heart motif (Finland) '585' (14k gold) town motif (Turku/Abo) & P7 (year). 

It is in excellent vintage condition (outstanding for age). The stone sits firmly in the setting and the band retains its original shape well. 

The band is medium sized. It is an AU size N 1/2 (EU 55 & US 7) with a inner diameter of 17.32mm. 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. This ring can be resized.
