Margie - 9ct Apex gold ring

The sweetest old Australian ring by early Australian Jewellers APEX. The floral detailing on the shoulders gives a pretty touch to a typical 'Rodd' aesthetic with a large Reddy / orange Paste stone held in by double claws. This ring is in remarkably good condition and is a fine piece of Australian Jewel history. 

Size O / 7.25US

9ct solid gold with paste orange stone

George Rodd established his workshop in Melbourne in 1919 and in 1922 was joined by his brother Ernest as a working partner, trading under the name APEX. Both brothers were skilled silversmiths and initially focused on crafting silver jewelry and silverware. 

By the late 1930s the company was the leading manufacturer of jewellery in Australia. Ernest Rodd's son Maxwell joined G & E Rodd in 1948 after his father's death and in that same year G & E Rodd became a public company, Rodd (Australia) Ltd. The company continued to flourish and became a household name. In 1961 a set of Rodd spoons and forks were commissioned as Australia's wedding present to the Duke and Duchess of York.
The firm's successors continued the business until 1985.
