SOLD Antique Belle Epoque 14K, Platinum & Diamond Ring

Between the Franco-Prussian War and World War I, 1871- 1914, much of Europe enjoyed a period of peace, prosperity, optimism, rapid developments in science and technology, and relative political stability. It was "the beautiful era" (Belle Epoque), a golden age, a time best characterized by the expression joie de vivre (from the title of a book by Émile Zola). Jewelry styles turned toward nature, with Art Nouveau influencing a more flowing line as well as botanical motifs.

Beautifully crafted in platinum, with a 14 karat yellow gold shank, this dinner ring has three sparkling diamonds set vertically with flower petal motifs and structural elements, a whisper of the Art Deco aesthetic soon to come. Wonderful to wear today, when special occasion jewels are admired for their subtlety as well as their flash!
