The Pyramid Sugarloaf Moonstone Ring with Orientalist Details
An outrageous 19th century orientalist ring with the most remarkable adularescent moonstone, fashioned in the shape of a pyramid. A dramatic blue Schiller moves through the stone to accentuate an occultist undertone of the day. The arabesquing details around the central stone recall Sargeant paintings in Morocco around 1880 (think Incensing the Veil.)
