Hyvärinen for Sirokoru 1970","description":"\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis large silver statement ring by Matti J. Hyvärinen for Sirokoru dates from 1970. Its square top displays the same crater-like relief as the matching cufflinks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt its centre is a broad, circular depression with a finely textured surface. Around it, the silver appears to be pushed up irregularly, as if we are looking at a crater in a rugged lunar landscape. The combination of the clean square outline and the organic relief gives the ring its powerful modernist appeal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe moon association fits well with Hyvärinen's work from this period. The 1969 moon landing inspired him to create several designs around the lunar surface, craters, and so-called lunar seas. An official model name for this ring could not be confirmed, but its imagery and dating clearly align with that special period in his work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe square top rests on two short supports above the ring band, creating a small open space between the band and the ornament.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ring is in good vintage condition and shows light surface scratches and signs of wear consistent with its age.
