Iconic Sputnik Gemstone Ring in 18k Gold

This parti-colored Sputnik ring is an iconic Atomic Age fashion ring. The 18k gold ring is set with 19 round gemstones including peridot, garnet, aquamarine, tourmaline, citrine, and amethyst. The harlequin gems sit in bezels, bursting in all directions from the bombé ring. The domed top of the ring sits over a scrolled gallery and sleek band. This particular ring is unsigned but is almost certainly an original H. Stern design. Atomic Age glamour, this ring is an explosion of fun and brilliant color. Circa 1950.

The Sputnik ring was designed in the 1950s by Hans Stern to highlight the range of colored gemstones available from Stern's Brazilian mines. It came to be called “Sputnik” because of its resemblance to the Soviet satellite launched in 1957.

Details.....Currently a size 7.5. The ring may be sized up or down two sizes free of charge. The top of the ring measures 19.5mm in diameter, and the band is 2.1mm wide. In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels; we consider it part of the charm.
