Wild Bold Mid Century Modern ring:
- By American modernist Martin Lasak
- Features a round cut, bezel set cabochon gemstone that is guarded - almost caged - well protected glowing olive green mossy jewel that I believe may be a very rare and highly sought after Moldavite stone. It is full of mystery and captivates at every angle - natural striations and characteristics galore
- Biomorphic looking orb topped vertical uprights with tons of movement
- The band is even interesting on every side with it's hand hamming and formed irregular bevels
- Very small US ring size 4 1/4 - perfect pinky ring or for the petite finger
- Ready and waiting for your finger, collection, and/or gift giving

Please view & enlarge all photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged. I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting. Utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all. Pictures normally speak louder than words and individuals also interpret characteristics differently.
