14K Yellow Gold Baroque Pearl and Diamond Brutalist Ring

Designed in the highly distinctive aesthetic of the short-lived Brutalist style of the 1950s to 1960s, this artful ring, with its intense texture and naturalistic coral reef design, is crafted in 14K yellow gold. A lustrous, iridescent white baroque cultured pearl enwrapped in free-form prongs is shouldered by a glittering 0.09-carat bezel-set diamond. It creates a strikingly stunning statement on the finger and is 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.
