14k Gold & Smoky Quartz Ring by N. Westerback, Finland

This lovely Modernist ring features solid 14k gold that frames a beautiful translucent faceted oval smoky quartz in a bezel setting. It was handcrafted by the atelier N. Westerback in Helsinki, which was registered under the maker's mark 'NW' between 1897 and 1969. (Originally to Nestor Westerback and later to Eino Westerback in 1919). 

The inner band is stamped with the Finnish hallmarks: 'NW' (maker),'585' (14k gold), crown motif (Finland), boat motif (Helsinki) &  'K7' (year). 

The ring is in excellent vintage condition. The stone (16mm X 10mm) sits firmly in the setting and the band retains its original shape well. 

This band is a medium/large size. It is an AU size P (EU 57 & US 7.5) with a 17.9mm 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.
