French Retro Turquoise Ring, c.1950

A bold gesture in stone and gold.

This Retro-era ring centers a lush green turquoise cabochon—cool, smooth, and entirely self-possessed—within an architectural 18k yellow gold setting. The design is sculptural and dynamic, with softened edges that echo the curve of the stone itself.

It’s the kind of piece that looks inherited, even when it’s brand new to you. Born in France around 1950, it carries the glamor of that mid-century moment—when elegance was sharp, cocktails were strong, and turquoise was for the bold. The ring’s form nods to the past, but its presence is unmistakably modern.

You don’t wear it by accident. You wear it on purpose.
