Artist Jewelry Chris Steenbergen gold ring

Chris Steenbergen is one of a few well know Dutch artist jewelers in the second half of the 20th Century. This jewel was part of his personal collection and we were lucky enough to be able to purchase a large part of this collection. Ever since then we have been searching and studying into his background information to see where his jewelry was exposed and in what books he was mentioned. And it has been an interesting time.

We see this as a unique opportunity for collectors to obtain a collectible piece of future antique jewelry.

This particular ring is pictured on page 26 in the catalog of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Netherlands, named 'Chris Steenbergen, goldsmith' published in 1985. And is also shown on page 19 of the book "Jewels of Mind and Mentality - Dutch Jewelry Design 1950-2000 'by the Museum of Contemporary Art Het Kruithuis',' s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. published in 2000.
