Sweet and elegant!

There’s something about French Provincial jewelry that is so timeless and romantic, and this stunning conversion ring is no exception! Crafted in a vibrant blend of 14 carat and 18 carat gold, this ring was converted from a French stickpin and bears the profile of a sweet French Provencal maiden with braids.

A portion of a ship wheel can be visible to the right of her figure, and in her hands sits a flower. Could she be waiting for a beloved? It’s hard to say, but the yearning is palpable in the artistic flourishes.

This poignant feminine design echoes the neo-medieval spirit of the ring. Like pre-Raphaelite art, it captures timeless, often tragic beauty—women as figures of both innocence and mystery. Neo-medieval art, much like the pre-Raphaelites, evokes a dreamlike reverie, where women exist in a realm untouched by time.

Whether worn alone or as part of a collection, this ring, with its ethereal presence, demands attention. A perfect treasure for art historians and antique lovers alike, it will surely become a cherished piece in any collection.
