About the Item
A striking mid-20th century Portuguese ring featuring a bold design and exceptional craftsmanship by I. Parafita, a notable goldsmith based in Porto between 1938 and 1984. This sculptural piece is crafted in 800/1000 yellow gold and set with a large, rectangular-cut smoky quartz of warm, translucent depth.
The openwork gold setting is characterized by flowing, organic lines that reflect both the artistic modernism and refined technical quality of Portuguese design from this period. The smoky quartz—measuring approximately 1.5 x 1.1 cm—is bezel-set and elevated to enhance its architectural impact.
