14k Gold & Smoky Quartz Ring by Jens Poul Asby for Christian Frederik Heise, Denmark

Make a statement with this exquisite geometric Modernist ring that features solid 14k gold that beautifully frames a faceted rectangular smoky quartz. It was designed by renowned Danish jewellery designer Jens Poul Asby for Copenhagen-based jewellery house Christian Frederik Heise, established in 1958. Asby used this maker’s mark in Holte between 1960 and 1970.

The inner band is stamped with the Danish hallmarks: 'JA' (designer) '585' (14k gold) & 'CFH' (maker).

The ring is in excellent vintage condition. The solid band retains its original shape well and has previously been resized. The stone (14mm X 12mm) sits firmly in the setting.

The ring is a large size. It is an AU size R 1/2 (EU 59 & US 9) with a 18.95mm 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.
