This stunning Modernist ring features solid sterling silver that frames a polished rectangular moss agate. It was designed by the famous Elis Kauppi and handcrafted by his workshop Kupittaan Kulta.

The beautiful translucent stone has both red and dark green moss-like patterns. Moss agate symbolises growth, renewal and connection to nature.

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.

The inner band is stamped with the anvil motif (maker) & '925' (silver purity). 

It is in excellent vintage condition. The stone measures 18mm long and the face of the ring measures 21mm. 

The ring is medium sized. It is an AU size O (EU 55 & US 7) with an inner 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.
