Featured 14ct gold brutalist diamond ring

Oooo me likey ! Id absolutely wear that !

 

struck by a V shaped punch............

 

I'm thinking North American and that number looks like someone put it on for identification purposes. Absolutely late 60s/70s design. I'd call it modernist, not brutalist.

 

I'd call it Sweet !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

“cuneiform” what a great word. But yes I noticed that too and also the hyphen after the 14k too definitely looks like the artists intentionally done it in that style to give the effect its worked by hand

 

Could it be possible the ring was resized and the hallmark was lost so they re hallmarked it by hand

 

I bet that’s Emirati, and was bought in Dubai. I’d also bet that’s a stock or design number. I’m trying to retrieve from my memory the jewellery I bought nice things from.

 

This second engraving is not a maker mark. It is probably:



What “D678 = 5” means

• “D” = diamonds
• “678” = internal work order or design number
• “= 5” = total weight or number of diamonds
  • There are 5 diamonds on the ring, which matches.
  
  
  This strongly suggests the ring was made by a small workshop, custom jeweler, or regional jewelry manufacturer, not a mass-market brand.
  
  
  
  Possible origin
  
  
  
  • American studio jeweler, late 60s–70s
  • Could also be from a small New York, California, or Chicago workshop (these were hubs for brutalist pieces)
  • Designers like David Andersen, Guy Vidal, or Mexican modernists made similar styles, but your ring lacks their signature hallmarks.
  
  
  Without a stamp, the maker is probably a custom bench jeweler rather than a known brand.
  

 

That’s AI’s input

 

Of course, nonsense and generic comments combined = AI.

 

Don’t get me started on AI. I have fun sometimes using it to “identify” things and laugh at the result.

 

I use Image Search sometimes, with similar results. Some are useful, and some are worthless.

 

I got an American (North American cuz some Canuck might've done it, LOL) vibe from the photo right off the bat. But that doesn't mean much.
