*This Ring Can Be Resized.

Art Nouveau jewelry was all about that symbolism, and this striking beauty is replete with meaning. 

First, that heart-stopping ruby is absolutely everything. She is “pigeon's blood red”, a term that has been used for centuries to describe the most highly prized ruby color. Jewelers are drawn to this color as it evokes associations with love, passion and adoration. 

The vibrant pop of color against that icy white setting of so many pretty diamonds creates a beautiful contrast. The setting is distinctively Art Nouveau with those smooth, flowing curvilinear lines. Though the metalwork is expert, it is far more simple than most Art Nouveau pieces. It’s likely that the artisan wanted to keep all of the well-deserved attention on that 0.41ctw ruby from heaven. 

This ring cuts the most marvelous silhouette on the finger, like wearing an unfurling rosebud emanating from the center of a new life ready to see the world.
