The story: Emblematic of the 40s, tank rings owe their origin to the troubled period that Europe was going through. Gold is a material that was increasingly rare and coveted, just like precious stones, which were almost disappearing from the market. The population started melting their possessions into gold for safe keeping, in the form of a ring that was easy to carry around. Tank rings offer heavy and imposing shapes and their patterns are reminiscent of tank tracks. This ring, by its rounded shapes, offers a clever mix of art deco style and tank ring.
