18K Gold, Vintage Diamond Ring, Alessandria, Italy, 1980s

In the 80s, the world of jewelry boldly reached for extravagance. Strong forms, sculptural silhouettes and contrasts were the key features of jewelry of that decade. It was then, in sunny Alessandria, the Italian capital of goldsmithing, that this ring was created - an expression of jewelry craftsmanship, a story about the intertwining of strength and elegance.

Its shape resembles a link in a massive chain - a symbol of bond, durability and timeless style. Matte, yellow gold with a warm shade harmoniously intertwines with cool, white gold, creating a contrast not only of colors but also of textures. It is like a play of light and shadow, catching a moment of movement in a static form.

Diamonds embedded in gold seem to be a subtle accent, emphasizing the dynamics of the form. Their shine breaks the geometric austerity of the ring, adding sophistication to it. This is jewelry that could have adorned the finger of a certain woman in the 80s, when fashion boldly combined courage with elegance. Maybe she wore it every day, as a talisman of her independence? Or was it a gift – a promise of permanence and strength of feeling?

Today, this ring remains a testament to an era when jewellery spoke of character and wearing it was an act of self-confidence. Still relevant, still unique, ready to tell a new story.
