SOLD Antique Belle Epoque 18K, Platinum, Diamond & Sapphire 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.

This gorgeous Belle Epoque dinner ring is crafted in 18 karat gold and platinum. With bezel set jewels on the large ring face, she would have sparkled and shimmered with every delicate raise of her lady's champagne coupe. Approximately 1.30 carats of diamonds are strategically set to pay homage to a deep blue .30 carat sapphire at the center. Truly a product of an enchanting, magical era!
