French 1940's 18ct Gold and Diamond Tank Ring
French 1940's 18ct Gold and Diamond Tank Ring
I was always curious about the term "tank ring" these great statement rings from the 1940's. With a little research I came to understand that in Europe during the war, people often melted down their jewelry into one singular piece that was easily wearable and transportable in case they had to flee suddenly. The shapes that these new pieces took on were larger and had strong silhouettes that sometimes resembled tanks. Here is a beautiful example of a 18k / 18ct gold piece from France.
