The "less-is-more" philosophy of modernism and the classic, for Mexico's 20th c. Silver Renaissance, marriage of silver and amethyst come together in this minimalist by-pass ring signed by Doris Corpus Artisans. A daring, Texas-born American who decided to move to Mexico in the 1940s, Doris Smith Chamberlin had her own workshop by 1945 and her commitment to perfection and inspired design resulted in the creation of some truly exceptional jewelry. I have in the past offered examples of the work created in her own taller but also commissioned from independent Taxco maestros and in the next couple of weeks, I will be presenting additional items, starting with the ring at hand. Beautiful, big stones, slick, warmly glowing silver - honest materials, strong geometry, a feast for the eyes of those who know how difficult it is to produce "pared down" beauty. Currently a sz 6 US (yet adjustable due to its open shank) the ring has a face measuring 1 3/8" N-S by just shy of 1" E-W with an approx. 1/2" rise. It weighs 9.9 grams and is fully signed "DORIS SILVER" as well as "CORPUS ARTISANS MEXICO". It dates in the pre-1948 period and is in excellent vintage condition with slick, strong design, beautiful stones, nice patina and no damage or repairs noted.
