1921 Tiffany & Co. 14K Yellow Gold Class Ring with Jade – Keuka College
A truly rare and historically significant piece, this 1921 Keuka College class ring was masterfully crafted by Tiffany & Co., one of the most prestigious American jewelry houses. Known for their unparalleled craftsmanship and timeless designs, Tiffany & Co. class rings from this era are exceptionally scarce, making this an extraordinary collector's item.
This vintage ring features a striking 9.7 mm x 7.6 mm jade cabochon centerpiece, securely set within an ornate gold frame. The top of the ring proudly displays "KEUKA COLLEGE" surrounding the gemstone, with the year "1921" inscribed beneath it.
Intricate detailing adorns the shoulders of the ring, showcasing an elegant floral motif with scrolling patterns, reflecting the Art Nouveau influences of the early 20th century. The interior of the band bears the prestigious "TIFFANY & CO." hallmark alongside the "14K" gold purity stamp, verifying its authenticity and quality. Additionally, the ring features an internal monogram "H.R.H., 1935," which may have belonged to the original owner or a distinguished graduate. Further research into these initials may uncover a notable alumnus or donor, adding to the ring's provenance.
Keuka College, founded in 1890, has a rich history of academic excellence and social impact. A class ring from this period, especially one created by Tiffany & Co., speaks to the prominence and prestige of its owner. Rings of this caliber were often commissioned for distinguished graduates, faculty members, or benefactors, making this piece a tangible link to the college’s heritage.
