Vintage Swedish Carved Sapphire 18ct Rose Gold Ring

A stylish and unique mid 20th century carved sapphire ring set. The masterfully crafted and hand carved ring originates from the island of Gotland in Sweden from a small village – Hemse. The designer named Oberg, which is possibly an abbreviation, cast and carved the ring and appears to be seldom worn since it was created well over half a century ago. The sapphire is carved depicting floral and naturalistic patterns and is of deep blue hue. Mounted in an 18ct rose gold shank with wide split shoulders. Circa 1958.
