Story
Post-war jewelry design in the 1950s and 60s took a sharp turn away from the rigid, industrial lines of Art Deco and toward the soft, romantic forms of nature.
Maker / Origin
The mark '14K-G' likely indicates a 14-karat gold purity followed by a maker's initial, a common practice for mid-sized American jewelry manufacturers of the period.
Condition & Value
The ring appears to be in excellent vintage condition with the pearl retaining a strong, healthy luster and no visible chips to the nacre. The gold shows light surface wear consistent with age, and the '14K-G' hallmark is crisp and legible. Professional cleaning would easily restore the original brightness of the textured petals.
