Elizabeth Gage 1960s Cancer Zodiac Ring
Vintage Cancer Zodiac Templar ring by Elizabeth Gage. "Elizabeth Gage is an award-winning British jewellery designer and a trained master goldsmith who has been creating collectable jewellery for over 50 years. Her style is uniquely her own and does not follow a fashion line; she is not defined by the sixties and seventies' passion for raw stones, for example. Rather, her style at that time was influenced by her love of the Plantagenet period in history (1154-1485) and the Knights Templar.
"Gage's first commission was for Cartier in New York. Her designs appeared in their 1968 catalogue and were so successful they had to be reordered. She works in 18 and 22ct gold and still designs every piece that bears her name." - Modern British Jewellery Designers 1960-1980: A Collector's Guide, Mary Ann Wingfield (2021)
The ring dates from the 1960s and, quite unusually, the construction is in two-tone 18 carat gold - yellow and white. The background behind the crabs is beautifully cross-hatch engraved and the borders feature her trademark applied rope-twist motifs. Stamped GAGE ER inside the band.

We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved and often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff or scrape is quite normal... it's part of their charm!
