Vintage Silver and Tourmaline Ring by Swedish Atelier Borgila Made 1956

About the Item

This vintage ring is crafted in sterling silver and set with two green tourmalines. The top is shaped like a softly rounded mask, almost alien in expression, with a gently domed surface that rises from the finger. The form is smooth and continuous, with subtle contours suggesting a face—most clearly in the curved line beneath the stones. The tourmalines are set as eyes, slightly raised and framed in simple bezels. Their deep green tone brings life to the piece, shifting softly in the light. The shank is wide, flat, and solid, balancing the volume of the top. Worn, it sits high and forward, catching attention without trying—playful, a little unexpected, and hard not to smile at. Atelier Borgila, located in Stockholm, distinguished itself as one of Sweden's premier jewelry producers from the 1930s through the 1990s. This esteemed atelier was frequented by illustrious figures such as Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III of Monaco, underscoring its reputation and allure among the world's elite.
