This ring has in the centre a deep-hued Natural Garnet, expertly faceted to capture the light. This rich central gem is encircled by a vibrant halo of lustrous Emeralds, their verdant green creating a stunning contrast against the garnet's warmth.
The entire cluster is securely set in rich 18k yellow gold, which highlights the gemstones' intense colors. What truly elevates this ring are its remarkable shoulders, featuring intricate, sculptural gold work with flowing, curvilinear motifs. These artistic details are a clear nod to the Art Nouveau aesthetic, which flourished around the turn of the 20th century.
Originating from the UK, this piece captures the essence of a transitional period (circa 1880s-1910s), blending the bold gemstone clusters of the Victorian era with the organic, artistic lines of Art Nouveau.
