Stunning modernist square ring by the phenomenal UK designer, Joel Degen. It has recently been professionally polished and looks absolutely phenomenal! I believe the center accent piece is Titanium but I am not 100% sure. A rare and spectacular estate find, perfect for Degen collectors or lovers of modernist and bold jewelry.
