ArtDeco Marcasite&Pyrite Sparkly SterlingSilver Geometric Filigree WideBand Ring

About the Item

Encrusted with mixed-cut pyrite and marcasite stones for gold and silver reflections, this extremely-sparkly double-rimmed wide thick sterling-silver ring was designed by an artisan in an Art Deco style with openwork that is a modern take on early-20th-Century filigree. Likely made in the United States given the "925" stamp, the maker's mark is illegible, so we include two closeup photos to help with possible identification. The darkened mark contributes to our dating the piece as early as the 1920s. On the side of the ring on a rim corner, one of the smallest marcasites is missing. However, the concave silver setting that it was in remains almost as reflective when moving the ring, so we only noticed it in our photo. The refracted light by the chevron-like arrangement of four-sided rectangular stones, surrounded by triangular-faceted round ones, ranges from golden to bright white like tiny diamonds.

Modernist BertoiaStyle Kinetic Silver 8Bead SpiralWire 3Band Asymmetric MensRing
Located in Chicago, IL
Recalling some early-mid-century modernist one-of-a-kind unsigned silver jewelry featuring delicate kinetic parts, tiny forged balls, and thin-wire work by American metal-worker Harry Bertoia, this aged silver unsigned spiraled wire open ring with essentially 3 bands is structured with 3 silver beads forged on both ends and in the center that are notably misaligned. The additional 5 among the 8 balls are kinetic for sliding, but only from one end to the fixed central ball. The subtle asymmetrical design encourages the wearer to think about the single ball--that is identical to the others--that will always remain isolated, unlike mindlessly toying with a traditional "fidget" ring or bracelet. For insight, view the early silver rings and wire brooches by the artist found in the online catalogue raisonne assembled by the Harry Bertoia Foundation, which may authenticate his unsigned jewelry for a fee that was prohibitive to us while we offer it for sale. Do not overlook his circa-1940 mens-size aluminum 3-sectioned open ring topped with 3 rows of 5 adjacent small matching geometric shapes, nor his circa-1943 spiraled-wire hatpin with 3 white beads, which share significant aesthetics with our inch-diameter ring including the numeric 1-3-5-8 elements. Unlike the ring that we found, those unsigned Bertoia pieces have documented provenance. Comparatively, another 1stDibs dealer is currently offering an unauthenticated early-Bertoia-style silver wire pendant...

This vintage Navajo modern minimalist solitaire two-finger ring, which was handmade by an unknown Native American, features a sterling-bezel-set black onyx cabochon on one end of a linear-textured yellow gold-filled asymmetrical flat narrow top, which will span nearly three fingers over a soldered silver double band. One band is US-size 8, the larger one is 8.5. On the underside of the flat top, the zigzag mark of a lightning/bolt or snake/serpent may be an individual artist or that of a Native American trading post, which acquired such jewelry when members of the community pawned pieces when in need of goods or credit.
