Handmade 14k Gold & Smoky Quartz Ring by Just Andersen, Denmark

Make a statement with this incredible chunky original Modernist ring that features solid 14k gold with a large faceted smoky quartz. It was designed and made by Just Andersen, Copenhagen.  

Designer Ib Just Andersen (1884-1943), who was born in Greenland, is best known for his incredible metalwork and ceramics. He founded his own company 'Just Andersen' in 1918, and had showrooms in Berlin, London, New York and Los Angeles. His work today is in the collections of various museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Museum in Stockholm.

Andersen's workshop continued after his death under the management of his widow and Ellen Schlanbusch (1902-2005), who became artistic director. The company closed in 1973. 

The ring is in excellent vintage condition with perfect smoky quartz. The solid band retains its original shape and is stamped 'JUSTA' (designer/maker) & '585' (14k gold). 

It is a size K 1/2 (EU 50 & US 5.5) with a 16.1mm 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. This ring can be resized.
