1970s 34ct carved emerald 18k gold ring
Size us 6, 52 , M, 16.75/53
Gross weight: 16.1gram
The golden age of carved emeralds was Mughal India, 16th – 18th century. It was here the carving of emeralds was elevated to high art. Often floral motifs, Quranic verses or other inscriptions emphasizing spiritual protection and personal connection. During the 1920s and 30s carved stones enjoyed a revival with houses like Cartier (tutti-frutti), Boucheron and Van Cleef
Arpels. A period where mixing Eastern and western aesthetics become the hottest rage.
In this modern piece the carved emerald takes center stage with a clear nod to both the Art deco and Mughal era. The shank with its simple but strong geometrical design and the big 34 ct emerald carved with a floral motif.
Hallmarked AT for Alexander Tillander and 750 (18k gold)
The Finnish company, A. Tillander was founded by Alexander Tillander who, as a young boy at the age 11, was sent out to go and take up an apprenticeship at a barber in St-Petersburg. Things didn’t go as expected and he ended up at a Finnish master goldsmith’s workshop instead. After 7 years as an apprentice, Alexander started working for a German master named Carl Becks who was a supplier for the Russian Imperial court.
In 1860, at the age of 23, Alexander started working for himself in St Petersburg. Working hard, his business evolved into a successful company renowned for its quality workmanship. Following the trends of the time, Tillander produced a lot of classical revival jewelry featuring filigree and granulation over the 1870’s and did well with objects d’art made of precious materials.
The first Russian Revolution in 1905 didn’t affect the business too adversely and up until 1916 the company kept its head well clear of the water line. The overall misery of the first World War followed by the Bolshevik Revolution finally took its toll, however, as it did for every other Russian jewelry manufacturer. Although the Tillanders were prepared and had secured a good part of their assets abroad the anarchy that followed the 1917 revolution proved to be no healthy climate for a jeweler and the St-Petersburg shop was closed. Alexander Sr. was shot by bandits two months after the shop closed and died a year later in 1918.
Alexander Jr. didn’t return to St Petersburg after the family’s summer holiday to Finland in 1917. When by 1918 the dust settled after a short civil war, he partnered up with a Finnish jeweler named Viktor Lindman before reestablishing the family company in Helsinki where it still resides today, now in the hands of the fifth and sixth generation of Tillanders.
The Tillander family’s journey from S:t Petersburg to Helsinki exemplifies a remarkable adaptation and dedication to the Art of jewelry-making, ensuring their creations remain cherished across generations.

With the prosperity that came after the war, consumers were ready for something new. “Atomic Age”, the period roughly corresponding to 1940–1963, inspired nearly every aspect of Mid-Century design, and jewelry was no exception.
The design is characterized by references and responses to the space race. A time of great promise of technological solutions for the problems facing an increasingly complex world. The launch of Sputnik in October 1957 marks a clear point of reference.
