Overview

After tattoos, men's rings were the next trend to sweep through society. Yves Gastou has always worn and collected them. For the first time, he pulls back the curtain on his fabulous, one-of-a-kind collection that ranges from 17th century rings worn by the doges of Venice to rings sported by American bikers in the 1970s, from the antique rings of ancient Egypt to 19th century vanity rings, and from 18th century enamels to works by contemporary artists.
