About the Item

Sterling Silver and Acrylic Ring Björn Weckström Lapponia Petrified Lake Ring "Rare" Original Vintage Ring by Bjorn Weckstrom Finland c.1973 Sterling Silver 925s with Acrylic The Petrified Lake ring and silver acrylic became famous when musician John Lennon bought one for his wife Yoko Ono. John Lennon and Yoko Ono were guests on the TV program Dick Cavett Show Yoko Ono had the same ring on her finger in the Show. This is how the ring got a lot of publicity. Petrified Lake Ring Named "Petrified Lake" Bjorn Lapponia 925 Finland Designed by Björn Weckström in the early 1970's, this futuristic out-of-this-world silver ring is famous for having been worn by Yoko Ono. The ring is impressive, yet delightfully light to wear. Green and blue tint is applied by hand onto the silver element inside the clear Acrylic sphere of the Petrified Lake ring, making each ring a unique piece of art. See the picture. I also have Björn Weckström, "Man i cosmos", a Sterling silver and Acrylic ring for sale. Lapland. Björn Weckströn: Rough matt surfaces, uncut semi-precious stones and asymmetrical forms are typical to his massive golden jewelry. Inspiration comes often from nature. When working in silver, Weckström can for example portray the snowy, Finnish winter landscape with its frozen lakes. Weckström considers jewelry as an art form and his designs as miniature sculptures. In 1963 Björn Weckström started co-operation with jewelry manufacturer Kruunu-Koru Oy (later Lapponia Jewelry) and its owner Pekka Anttila. Weckström became company’s designer and art director. In 1965 Weckström took part in the International Jewelry Contest in Rio de Janeiro, where his yellowgold and tourmaline necklace “Flowering wall” won the Grand Prix. Through this distinguished award, the company received worldwide recognition, launching Lapponia’s international success. His designs have been in continuous production with Lapponia ever since. Probably the best-known piece of Weckström’s jewelry is necklace Planetoid Valleys which Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) wore in George Lucas’ film Star Wars in 1977. Necklace was designed for Lapponia in 1969. Björn Weckström was the first designer who radically combined silver and acrylic in jewelry. Especially silver-acrylic ring Petrified lake achieved international attention when Yoko Ono was filmed wearing it on the Dick Cavett Show in 1975
