Art Deco Lapis Lazuli Egyptian Revival Ring
30-1-11489
ABOUT THIS RING
The opening of King Tut's tomb in 1922 was the inspiration for the fabulously distinctive and visually intriguing Egyptian Revival-style designs represented in Art Deco jewelry during the 1920's-30's, and rarely more artfully displayed than in this remarkable ring. The high-profile centerpiece is a gleaming deep cobalt blue pyramid-shaped, gold flecked, lapis lazuli stone engraved on one side with the Eye of Horus - a symbol of protection, power, and good health, with three pyramids etched on the opposite side. The base of the stone is trimmed all around with glittering single-cut diamonds accented with stylized fan shapes composed of buff-top emeralds, black onyx, and corals to form a dramatically stunning architectural gallery and shoulders, all further embellished with an open scroll design. Egyptian Revival at its finest. A rare, sizable, and strikingly stunning work of wearable art, and a captivating, collectable, conversation piece. Hand fabricated platinum. Measures 7/8 by 5/8 by 1/2 inch. Currently ring size 6 1/2.
