The "Tank" ring had its heyday during the years 1935 to 1950 and was at its peak during the 1940s. A new trend in this period of war returned once again to more marked and structured stylistic forms.
The Tank ring is undoubtedly an vintage jewel of character, with an imposing style that reflects all the power of the person who wears it. Stemming from the Retro Art movement, largely influenced by a dark period of human history, it is recognizable among all. This sumptuous jewel, a symbol of strength and success, is distinguished by its sculptural lines and exuberant volume.
