Contemporary Band Rings

CONTEMPORARY STYLE

Contemporary jewelry is inextricably linked with the moment in which it is created, frequently reflecting current social, cultural and political issues such as environmental consciousness, identity and sustainability. It’s informed by fashion trends, from the chokers of the 1990s to the large chain necklaces of the early 2000s.

Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of adornment. Lockets made of silver or gold have been treasured gifts for hundreds of years, for example, and charm bracelets, which have existed since prehistoric times, didn’t become especially popular until the 19th-century reign of Queen Victoria. For many centuries, fine jewelry was used primarily to express wealth or status through lavish materials. Then, in the 1960s, a concept known as the “critique of preciousness” emerged, with jewelers creating pieces that did not get their value from gemstones or precious metals. Instead, it was the jeweler’s artistic vision that was prized and elevated.

This shift still informs Contemporary jewelry being made by artists today. Whether they are using cheap, found materials and working with provocative geometric shapes or seeking out the rarest stones, they are imbuing their work with meaning through their skills, techniques and ideas. Innovative designers such as Elsa Peretti, who popularized sculptural sterling-silver jewelry for Tiffany & Co., and David Yurman, who twisted metal into the simple yet striking Cable bracelet, have also influenced the direction of Contemporary jewelry’s forms and aesthetics.

Meanwhile, technological advancements like metal alloys and laser engraving have led to new possibilities in jewelry design. Now, edgy makers and brands as well as minimalist designers are pushing Contemporary jewelry forward into the 21st century.

Black Opal Diamonds and Sapphires 22 Karat Gold Band Fashion Ring
Located in New York, NY
22K gold fashion band ring. Rich and exotic Black Opals are bezels set in solid 22k yellow gold and accented with color diamonds, sapphires, and Tsavorite garnets creating a bright and interesting conversation piece. We love using opals in our one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry designs. They are full of character, with different flashes of color, depending on the lighting or a viewing angle. This stunning opal and diamonds fashion band can stand on its own or, for more oomph, combines beautifully with other stacking rings in our collection. 1001 Nights: ring #3. The pictured ring is Size 7.5. Can be custom ordered in other sizes. Please specify your ring size. The inspiration for these rings comes from the color and the timelessness of the gemstones and ancient manual techniques of jewelry making, such as granulation, fusing, metal forming. These techniques were introduced by pre-Classical Sumerian, Mycenaean and Minoan cultures and built upon during Greek Classical and Hellenistic periods when naturalistic forms were introduced. AB Jewelry designs are influenced by the skill and the laborious attention to detail paid by the artisans throughout thousands of years of jewelry design. While inspired by history, these popular rings are created for a modern style. They make a statement without being over the top. Handmade gold ring...
