Description from the seller
This refined yellow-gold cocktail ring, from the Art Nouveau period, captivates with its delicacy and its design evoking natural forms.
It features 16 white rose-cut sapphires of 0.02 ct each, accompanied by a main stone of 0.15 ct, also rose-cut, which contribute a soft, romantic shine characteristic of this cut.
Its elongated oval head, so fashionable in cocktail rings of the era, stylizes the piece and enhances its elegance, while the pierced, intricate, and organic details evoke swirls and motifs inspired by nature.
The ring’s shoulders and part of the band are also adorned with white sapphires, creating exquisite visual harmony.
The craftsmanship is fine, with detailed filigree work that demonstrates great skill in piercing. The Art Nouveau movement aimed to break with traditional styles, drawing inspiration from the flowing forms of nature, which makes this jewelry piece a true work of art full of sensitivity and distinction.
A unique piece that enchants with its history, design, and undeniable elegance.
The gemstones are commonly treated to enhance color or clarity. This has not been investigated for this specific item.
The piece does not show a distinctive hallmark; the gold has been previously examined by a professional.
It is shipped perfectly packed, by registered mail and insured.
The piece ships with standard packaging.
It can be collected in Madrid or Barcelona, by prior notice.
