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