Arts & Crafts 18ct Gold Ring set with an Aquamarine attributed to Arthur Gaskin

823T
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 18ct gold ring that was made circa 1910. It has been set with a pale aquamarine within a coiled gold frame. On either side are three leaves with bobble detail. The shank has a continuous line around it.
It is attributed to Arthur Gaskin who was born in Birmingham in 1862. He was brought up in Wolverhampton where he attended Wolverhampton Grammar School before returning to Birmingham in 1879.
In 1883 Gaskin entered the Birmingham School of Art, being appointed to the teaching staff two years later. It was here that he met Georgie Gaskin, one of his students, whom he married in 1894.
The Gaskins started producing jewellery from 1899 under the name “Mr & Mrs Arthur Gaskin”, and in 1903 Arthur was appointed headmaster of the Vittoria Street School for Jewellers and Silversmiths, where he was to remain until 1924. The couple retired to Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire, near the Guild and School of Handicraft established in that town by the arts and crafts architect Charles Robert Ashbee.
