Antique Art Deco Egyptian Revival Blue Glass & Marcasite Ring, 935 Silver

This striking 1920s Art Deco statement ring is crafted in high-grade 935 silver and set with a deep, inky blue opaque glass panel, cut into a distinctive tent cut — a raised, ridged form with a peaked, roof-like profile reminiscent of the pyramids of ancient Egypt.

With its pierced gallery, stepped construction and strong geometric lines, the ring has all the dramatic architectural qualities associated with the Art Deco period. The unusual cut creates a striking vertical presence on the finger, while the surrounding marcasites add texture and an eye-catching metallic sparkle that beautifully highlights the bold geometric design.

The combination of the dark blue glass, stepped silver framework and pyramid-like form gives this ring a wonderful Egyptian Revival character — an aesthetic that became particularly fashionable during the Art Deco era following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.

Crafted in 935 silver, a higher-grade silver standard commonly found in continental European jewellery of the period, the ring is beautifully constructed and has a wonderfully substantial appearance. This is a unique and highly wearable piece of early 20th-century jewellery that makes a real statement on the finger — graphic, elegant and unmistakably of its era.
