This silver ring is a great find, its design with raised figures evoking the style of modernist artist Ismael Smith Marí (1886-1972), who explored themes of androgyny and expressiveness in his early 20th century jewelry. Smith was known for his unique and provocative works, depicting human figures and symbolic elements in designs that capture a surreal and somewhat disturbing aesthetic, in resonance with the artistic movements of the time.
The ring depicts two figures entwined in an introspective pose characteristic of Smith's sculptures and drawings. While it is unknown whether this ring is a direct creation of Smith's, we believe it is not, but we do believe it is a direct inspiration for the style and detailing that reflects her thematic approach and technique. During her career, Smith created over one hundred jewelry designs, although she only produced a small number, mostly in silver, and some of them are in museums. These pieces, like this ring, stand out for their androgynous and enigmatic modernist representations, which challenge the norms of the society of their time.
This ring is a fascinating piece for collectors of modernist art or lovers of jewelry with history and symbolism. Ideal for those looking for a vintage jewel or to give to lovers of pieces with history with a unique and profound touch that evokes the art of the early twentieth century.
