A powerful example of British modernist jewellery, this sculptural Amethyst ring by renowned goldsmith John Donald captures everything collectors adore about his work. Crafted in 9ct Yellow Gold and fully hallmarked in London with his maker’s mark JAD, this 1980 piece showcases Donald’s signature blend of organic texture and bold architectural form.
Set with two natural, raw-form Amethysts in deep, regal purple tones, the stones appear to emerge from molten gold — an innovative setting style that became synonymous with Donald’s studio. The ring’s expressive, almost geological design wraps the finger with presence, artistry and unmistakable individuality.
A rare find in this condition, the ring is accompanied by its original presentation box, making it an especially desirable piece for collectors of iconic British jewellery.
A wearable artwork from one of the greats of 20th-century design
