About the Item

A striking vintage, mid-century ring featuring a sculptural Sputnik-inspired design crafted in 18K gold and accented with an array of colorful gemstones, including citrine, green tourmaline, pink tourmaline, amethyst, garnet, and aquamarine. The arrangement of gemstones creates a dynamic, starburst-like silhouette, reflecting the fascination with space-age design that emerged during the mid-20th century following the launch of Sputnik in 1957. The combination of richly colored stones and polished gold gives the ring an especially playful yet sophisticated presence. Hallmarked by H. Stern, this striking vintage ring features a prominent 1.15-inch diameter face that sits 0.7 inches above the finger. It weighs 8.41 grams and is currently a size 6.75, with professional resizing available upon request for an additional fee. The piece remains in excellent vintage condition. Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity. Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 18K gold construction.
