14k Gold & Smoky Quartz Ring by Olavi Nupponen for Kaunis Koru

This original handmade Modernist ring features 14k gold with a large oval cabochon smoky quartz. The design is both elegant and bold, making this a beautiful statement piece of outstanding craftsmanship.

It was designed by Olavi Nupponen (1948-1972) for Kaunis Koru in 1960. Kanis Koru, founded in 1956 and acquired in 1989, always acknowledged artist's designs with their initials. 

The ring is fully stamped 'ONU' (designer), the crown (Finland), '585' (14k gold), city motif (Helsinki), G7 (year) and 'KK' (maker). It is in excellent vintage condition. There is an engraving on the inside of the band.

This ring is a size S (EU 60 & US 9.5) with a 19.1mm 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.
