Rare Art Deco Walter Lampl Sugarloaf Onyx Rock Crystal Cocktail Ring-c. 1930

  

Walter Lampl was an ambitious New York City jeweler whose rags-to-riches story marked the beginnings of a successful career. At the age of 26, he opened a wholesale jewelry business in 1921, and eventually commissioned several female designers whose work he oversaw and and approved from page to product. His quality jewelry included colorful gemstone designs, unique charms, and popular pins. Multiple designs originated as gifts for his beloved wife Sylvia (whom he called "Toots"), later evolving into designs available to the rest of his clientele.

His enthusiasm, charismatic personality, and humorous motto "Creators of the Unusual, As Usual" made him a much beloved man whose legacy extended far beyond the end of his life. Authentic vintage Walter Lampl pieces are still fashionable today and have become quite collectible! This incredible onyx and clear quartz ring from the late Art Deco (ca1930s) era is a signed piece by the legendary Walter Lampl!

Crafted in 14kt yellow gold, the bold ring features a gorgeous hexagonal-shaped onyx cabochon at the center of a fabulous design.
