Ring in 18 ct yellow and white gold, single cut diamonds, two round cut rubies and fired enamel.
Italian master mark for Frascarolo.
Minor patches of tarnishing to the metal as commensurate with age. Some minor scuffs on the enamel, but not easily noticed.
This piece shows how Frascarolo managed to create highly expressive animals represented together with perfect technical mastery and an impeccable finish.
The “Bestiary” collection, a limited edition launched towards the end of the 1960s by the jewellers Frascarolo & Co., was the leitmotif of the artist. Inspired by sculpture, these jewels were modelled using the technique of lost wax casting, are decorated with engravings and precious stones and finished with enamels en ronde-bosse, champlevé and cloisonné. The animals are captured in aggressive attitudes or in caricatured poses.
