14k Gold & Ethical Alexandrite Ring by Wasama & Co. Oy, Finland
This stunning Modernist ring features a lab-created alexandrite that is elegantly framed by solid 14k gold. The design beautifully highlights the stone, which is reflected in the polished gold backing. It was hand-crafted by Helsinki based jeweller Wasama & Co. Oy in 1962.
The stone is a true testament of innovative mid-century trends! During this period there was a lot of enthusiasm surrounding the new technology to grow gems, in particular colour changing stones. Many of these stones were treated with as much care and reverence as natural gems. This stone exhibits both warm purple and cool blue-green hues depending on the angle or type of light it is exposed to.
This ring is fully stamped with the Finnish hallmarks: Wa motif (maker), crown motif (Finland), '585' (14k gold), Helsinki motif (city) & 'I7' (year).
It is in excellent vintage condition. The stone measures 18mm X 8mm. The band retains its original shape well.
This ring is a medium size. It is an AU size N (EU 53.8 & US 6.75) with a 17.1mm 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. The band can be resized.
Available to be shipped from 27th of January.
