10K Yellow and White Gold Brutalist Diamond Ring

This arresting ring, with its intense texture and naturalistic design, is crafted in 10K yellow gold and features the highly distinctive aesthetic of the short-lived Brutalist style of the 1950s and '60s. It creates a strikingly stunning statement on the finger and is set with a 0.20-carat round, brilliant-cut diamond, prong-set in white gold, in the centre of the heavily textured linear bark-like branches. The ring sits flush to the finger, displaying ragged edges that resemble melting candle wax. It's a wonderful work of wearable art!

Brutalism originally began as an architectural style in the 1950s. Brutalist jewellery pieces from that era often times had an almost handmade look with bumpy, knobby or rough textures as well as repeated geometric forms that were asymmetric and abstract. It is a style with an emphasis on materials, textures and construction that produced highly expressive forms. The brutalist era was defined by big looks and redefined by the use of a more natural approach to setting using flowed gold and nugget-esque looks. Brutalist-style jewellery tends to be edgy and bold and often has a chunky or heavy look with a distinctive mixture of shapes, textures and dimensions.
