*This Ring Can Be Resized.
This chunky, badass ring is one of our coolest Retro finds. The Retro Era took place from about the late 1930’s until the early 1950’s. This time period encompassed all of World War II, a global event that shaped everything it touched, including jewelry.
Many of the Era’s designs were eye-catching and weighty due to a few big factors. The early part of the period channeled the appeal of bold Hollywood glamor, while the post-war period favored designs that demonstrated abundance and prosperity. The fashionable crowd were celebrating after years of hardship from war and economic struggles.
This ring also incorporates a truly unique design element for its time: subtle asymmetry. While most retro pieces have more of a balanced look, this ring gives a slight nod towards the trend to come. Namely, the modern design period that kicked off in the 1950’s and beyond.
This ring really does it all. Bold and vivacious while ever so elegantly incorporating an emerging design idea. And doing it all so seamlessly. A dreamy piece of adornment that makes both an historical and aesthetic statement.
