24k Angular Thick Gold Twist Ring

In view of fluctuating gold prices, this is priced on request.

24k gold ring made in the tradition of Viking rings.

The twist and braid styles of rings were made soulfully throughout Viking history. Some were Romanized, some became lost.

This Angular Twist Ring is one such ring, its origins date to 9th century AD.

Apart from historical studies, its lofty beauty is not available to us.

The angular bands in this ring twist in opposite directions.

Only very slightly widening at the front, the band’s width is maintained for minimal deviation is its beauty.

The twist texture is best personified on 24k gold, because the gold looks ‘soft’ even when solid.

The movement of the gold is a frozen capture of not rope but sculpture, its angularity is beautiful inside and out.

The ring will suit one looking for a ring or band balanced between a historical style and modern abstraction.

Enlarging the twist alone is a kind of minimalism in jewelry – much loved and much aped in high street jewelry, just not Fine.

A 24k solid gold ring is a lot of controlled work to build by hand, with the dense AND graduated twist this control must be phenomenal to get the restrained outcome.

This ring will wear equally on the thumb and on other fingers, and will wear with any jewelry, man or woman.

While it is possible to cast similar style rings from a mould, the outcome will not be true to the soulful ring in the photos.

All the pleasant spaces (holes) are gone, all the angularity suggestive (not sharp).

If it was possible to cast this ring, we would not offer it here.

At its smallest size (US 5), this ring will weigh at least 12 grams.
