Extensive sample book with a rich assortment of highly detailed, original designs for the most sophisticated rings using a variety of materials: gold, silver, brass, copper, pearls, precious and semi-precious stones such as ones such as Jasper, Opals , Garnet, diamonds and more.

The rings are usually shown laid flat but often also in the profile to detail the construction and the dimensions. There are many unusual and rare designs as well as the popular stars, heart shapes, skulls and zodiac signs. There are also many pencil inscriptions with details of size, weight and stone., for example '25/14 garnet 14, pearl 8, for turquoise No. 25/15, opal 25/16, flexible'. A great source of inspiration for a master jeweller or goldsmith.
