What You Should Know: A spectacular example of Nouveau craftsmanship

*This Ring Can Be Resized.

Art Nouveau jewelry embodies some of the most incredible craftsmanship in history. It was a time of righteous art and beauty, with jewelry acting as yet another canvas for the creative minds of the day.

Meaning “new art”, Art Nouveau spanned the years 1890 to 1910 and marked a thirst for change, and put a primacy on skill. Art Nouveau is more of a style than a span of time. In fact, what really defines Art Nouveau is an intense emphasis on settings and metalwork, with the value of stones being secondary to creativity, style, and artistry.

With construction and craft taking the lead, soft curved lines and rounded embellishments formed the basis of romantic, whimsical themes that mark this stunning style. Many of the daring designs of the day were derived from nature. Flowers, birds, and butterflies appeared next to cameos and adornments inspired by the female form. In these ways, artisans sought to create a new aesthetic for a new age, pushing back against mass-produced pieces and focusing on broad experimentation and decorative arts.

This ring is quintessential Art Nouveau with soft rounded corners and intricate metalwork. The setting achieves perfect harmony with that .91ctw sapphire centerstone and .52 of rose cut diamonds running in rivulets along the sensual curves. An Art Nouveau masterpiece that shows why it was the era of ultimate craftsmanship.
