Overview
A pair of bold, gold-tone costume statement rings depicting the astrological constellations for Capricorn and Pisces. Each features a textured, organic oval signet face accented with engraved star-chart lines, set with clear paste rhinestones and script lettering.
Story
The 1970s sparked an unprecedented cultural obsession with astrology. Everyone wanted to wear their sign, giving rise to these sculptural, brutalist-inspired statement pieces designed to make the wearer's celestial identity impossible to miss.
Maker / Origin
While unsigned, these rings reflect the style popularized by commercial fashion jewelers like Monet, Napier, and Avon during the height of the New Age jewelry boom. Mass-market costume jewelers translated modernist gallery aesthetics into accessible everyday accessories.
Condition & Value
Very good vintage condition. Plating shows light surface rubbing and patina consistent with age; all rhinestones remain securely set, bright, and intact. Good condition helps retain retail collector appeal.
