Crafted in solid sterling silver, this unisex statement ring belongs to the legendary “Tundra” series by Juhls — a collection revered worldwide by serious collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring is bold, architectural, and unapologetically chunky, with a dramatic openwork construction that feels almost fossil-like or geological in form. Its heavily sculpted surface is pierced with organic voids, caverns, and flowing negative spaces, evoking eroded Arctic rock, frozen landscapes, and raw terrain shaped by time and extreme climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is intentionally asymmetrical and textural — no decorative excess, no softness, just raw Nordic strength. This is wearable sculpture, designed to be felt as much as seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring was designed by Frank Juhls and Regine Juhls, founders of Juhls — pioneers of modern Scandinavian jewellery who transformed Arctic inspiration into global design icons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir workshop was (and still is) based in Kautokeino, deep within the Arctic Circle. Rather than following European jewellery traditions, the Juhls drew inspiration from:\u003cbr\u003e*Arctic landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e*Sámi culture.\u003cbr\u003e*Ancient tools and natural formations.\u003cbr\u003e*Brutalist architecture and modernist art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “Tundra” collection, introduced in the 1960s, is among their most famous and collectible bodies of work — celebrated for translating raw Arctic nature into bold, sculptural silver forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis circa 1967 original vintage example is especially rare and highly sought after. While Juhls still produces reinterpretations of the Tundra designs today, early vintage versions like this one are far more desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current version of this ring retails directly from Juhls for NOK 3,625 (± R5,900) —See last picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements :The ring measures as a size L as per ring measure stick and weight of 24.5 grams!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Expedition With Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50793792274738,"sku":null,"price":2195.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/2110\/1106\/files\/20260107-110528.jpg?v=1767863803","url":"https:\/\/expeditionwithjones.com\/products\/this-iconic-norwegian-brutalist-ring-is-a-powerful-example-of-mid-century-scandinavian-modernist-jewellery-at-its-most-sculptural-and-uncompromising","provider":"Expedition With Jones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
