This unique piece had a previous life in France.

The story: Emblematic of the 40s, tank rings owe their origin to the troubled period that Europe was going through. Gold was an increasingly rare and coveted material, just like precious stones, which were almost disappearing from the market. That is why people started melting their gold possessions into 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.
