About the Item

You are viewing a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a ONE OF A KIND Custom ring made by Jewelry Artist Bernard K.Passman. Bernard K. Passman has designed diamond and black coral jewelry for Princess Diana, The Royal Family, and many, many celebrities. This is a RARE example of one such piece that you will never see another on in the world! This piece belongs in an art gallery as it is SUPER RARE and SUPER UNIQUE. This amazing piece was purchased in 2012 from the Passman Art Gallery for $150,000 PLUS TAX. See the attached letter of authenticity from the Gallery. We have DISCOUNTED THE RING BY 80% - You will NEVER see anything like it again and you will never have the opportunity to purchase it at such a DISCOUNT! Here is some information about the artist: About Bernard K Passman By the time Bernard K Passman received a visit from the Caymanian boys, he had already earned the reputation of a polymath--a reputation which may have carried a bit of eccentricity owing to his limitless curiosity and prodigious talent. Miami & Early Sculpture Mr. Passman was a decorated veteran of World War II who made his first fortune as a stock broker and investor. He came to Miami just as it was becoming the Miami of mid-century second renaissance and made his next fortune as a real estate developer. Never feeling a need to distinguish vocation from avocation, Bernard turned his love and talent for sculpting (which he first found in a pocket knife and the lid of a K-ration box during his service) into notoriety and commercial success. He sculpted in a wide range of media. Mr. Passman opened a gallery in the famed Galt Mile, Fort Lauderdale in the mid-60’s and received commissions for 21’ tall Presidential Tree sculptures from both the Republican and Democratic National Committees for their respective 1968 and 1972 conventions, each held in Miami Beach. Cayman Islands & Black Coral Jewelry Bernard K Passman “retired” with his family to Grand Cayman in the early 70’s. For their part, the Caymanian boys had visited to show Mr. Passman coral branches, proof and trophies of their remarkable free diving skills. Unimpressive dull grey-brown first glance, the young men promised that some turning and polishing would transform the twigs and sticks into a luminescent black deeper than polished ebony wood but easier to sculpt. From there, Mr. Passman set about creating the only luxury retail brand to be founded in the Caribbean. He was commissioned to make the Cayman Island’s official wedding gift for the 1981 marriage of the Prince of Wales to the Lady Diana Spencer, a 97-piece black coral cutlery set. Subsequent official commissions were granted for gifts to commemorate the 1983 state visit of Queen Elizabeth II to the Cayman Islands (carved black coral Corgis, of course). Prince William received a gift on the occasion of his birth, and the Vatican collections house: a Passman-made black coral crucifix. Exquisite galleries opened throughout the islands and the United States featuring a dazzling array of sculptures and inlaid 18k gold and platinum jewelry. His limitless creativity has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of collectors who would visit his galleries to purchase truly one-of-a-kind pieces. Do your research as you will see this piece is a ONE of a KIND and belongs in an art gallery as his other pieces were commissioned by celebrities and the Royal Family in the UK! There are no words to describe this ring - it is MAGNIFICENT. This is a true attention getter and show stopper! The bling on this ring lights up a room. It truly is a work of art and the center piece no matter where you wear it! This amazing ring is diamond encrusted around ALL SIDES! We estimate the total carat weight to be approximately 8 carats of white natural -G/H color and VS clarity diamonds. In addition the center bar of the ring is set with natural black coral which is super rare. This is a TRUE work of art and is currently appraised at $150,000 USD. Words cannot describe this amazing ring. The ring is set in platinum.In addition it is signed by the artist Bernard K. Passman and marked PLAT for platinum. THERE IS SOME MINOR DAMAGE/WEAR on the black coral as shown in the pictures. Although it does not really detract from the amazing fire of this statement piece, it is there and has been DRASTICALLY REDUCED due to the damage. The size of the ring is a US 7 on the end open finger and 8 on the fixed finger hole. This ring CANNOT be resized, so please be sure of your ring sizes prior to purchase. The purchase will include the ring box and Passman Galleries Certificate of Authenticity/Appraisal. It is an AMAZING piece!
