About RING

“RING” is a piece of jewelry designed by Alexander Calder around 1938, which belongs to the Expressionism art movement. It is not only a decorative item but also a work of art.

The artwork in question appears to be a ring composed of a metal band, which seems to be copper or a copper-toned alloy given its warm hue, and a large, square-shaped, blue stone secured by metal prongs. The setting for the stone is bold and occupies a substantial presence on top of the ring, indicating a modern and possibly abstract approach to jewelry design which was typical for Calder, who was known for his innovative and artistic flair in both jewelry and his well-known mobile sculptures.
