18K Renaissance Revival Style Figural Hunter Ring by Nino D'Antionio Germano

About the Item

Nino D’Antonio Germano is celebrated as one of Italy's greatest 20th-century artists, primarily known for his work as a sculptor and painter, but also created several pieces of jewelry. Born in 1926 into the Alfonsi family, renowned jewelers in Rome, he continued the tradition of artist jewelers first epitomized by Benvenuto Cellini in the 16th century. Germano drew inspiration from classical themes, often depicting ancient Greek and Roman mythological figures. He utilized the transitional lost wax/cire-perdue method, which involved destroying the original wax sculpture. Each piece was meticulously hand-sculpted, and the mold could only be used a limited number of times, making each jewel exclusive. From the pages of “Rings: the Alice and Louis Koch collection.” This ring is a faithful reproduction of a German renaissance ring depicting a hunter and boar locked in heated combat. As the story goes, Louis Koch made a replica of the original renaissance ring to fool a well known jewelry historian into believing the replica was original. The historian did believe the replica to be an original which spawned a newfound interest in this style of ring. This ring was likely inspired by this story. Size: 6.5 Weight: 9.9 grams Measurements: 10 mm widest point, 3.5 mm shank, sits 7 mm off of the finger Markings: side of boar marked "Germany", maker's mark for Nino D'Antionio Germano
