An exceptional art nouveau pearl and diamond ring with foliate details, this rare hallmarked jewel typifies the coveted organic lines of the French art nouveau movement- perfectly exemplify Belle Époque sensibilities. It is becoming harder and harder to locate all original examples of art nouveau jewel splendor and when we found this beauty with her sloping shoulders and organically asymetrical three stone presentation, a collective hush fell over the office. We NEVER find them quite like this… There is nearly three times as much gold used than we usually expect of a fine, leafy ring for the Art Nouveau period. 

Fashion houses like Worth & Callot Soeurs commanded the transition out of 19th century buckled silhouettes to a more natural form- but it was the art nouveau styles in jewels such as this that cemented these fashions as so much more than ephemeral textile temptations. By turning art nouveau shapes into legacy defining decorative arts, jewels lead fashion and rendered it, in many ways, immortal. This three stone shape is a theme upon which we've seen many variations, and this example stands out as a singular version; whomever curates this ring will be extremely excited about it.
