Possibly the most massive ring by Antonio I have ever seen and a very strong modernist statement at the same time, this is a piece that would fit right in the best collection of Pineda jewelry. Angularity that is softened by the stone's curves and the curled wire holding itin place combine with the setting's breath-taking size to create a visually powerful ring. Currently a sz 6, it can be easily resized by a good jeweler. Its face is 1" by 3/4" and the ring rises 11/16" above the finger when worn. It weighs 19.8 grams and is signed with Antonio's crown mark as well as "970" and bears Eagle 17 assay mark - all hallmarks on a small plaque applied on the inside of the setting. Dating in the 1950s-60s and in excellent vintage condition.
