You are purchasing a silver ring in a modernist design, designed by Karl Laine for the Finnish company Sten & Laine (later known as Finnfeelings). The piece of jewelry typically dates from the 1970s and is set with a clear rock crystal. Designer: Karl Laine, a well-known Finnish jewelry designer. Material: The ring is made of 925 sterling silver. Stone: The gemstone used is a faceted rock crystal. Style: The design is unconventional and striking, with an open ring band and a Y or V-shaped setting that holds the stone between two angular ends. This is a classic example of Scandinavian Modernism, often described as “Mid Century Modernist”. Ring band: The open, adjustable ring band was a characteristic feature of these designs.
