What is a Tank ring?

A Tank ring is a type of jewelry with a massive and geometric design, often inspired by tanks, hence its name. These rings are mainly liées in the 1940s and 1950s and are renowned for their bold and imposing architecture. 

In the 40s, Tank Rings were created.

In the 40s, the constraints of war had a considerable impact on jewelry making. There were few precious materials, and jewelers had to be ingenious. The rings of this era are strongly geometric and massive, often in rose gold or yellow gold, due to the rarity of platinum. When used, gemstones were often rubies, sapphires or smaller diamonds. It was common to receive these rings as gifts to mark important events or as a sign of moral support during difficult times.

The 50s: The Renaissance of Tank Style

During the 50s, with the end of the war and economic recovery, they experienced an evolution to become even richer. Thanks to the increased availability of precious materials, jewelers have been able to design more complex and refined pieces. Designs have been improved, frequently including larger diamonds and higher quality gemstones. The return of white gold also brought a note of modernity to the creations. Tank rings from the 50s demonstrate a combination of solidity and refinement, reflecting the spirit of reconstruction and prosperity of the time.

Second-hand Tank Rings and Art Deco

Tank rings from the 40s and 50s are also marked by the influence of Art Deco. The design of this jewelry was marked by this artistic movement, which is distinguished by its geometric shapes, clean lines and bold use of colors and materials. Collectors and vintage jewelry enthusiasts are very interested in used art deco Tank rings. Not only do they provide a captivating insight into the aesthetics and ingenuity of jewelers of the period, but they also make original and historic conversation pieces.
