Art Nouveau pieces of jewellery often possess a special poetic quality when it comes to transforming natural forms into jewellery. Flowers, leaves, and gently curving lines seem to literally grow out of the precious metal in this ring as well. The fluid interplay between ornamentation and natural motifs makes it a small work of art that reveals its full beauty only upon closer inspection. The ring was created c. 1910 and is crafted from solid 585 gold. Its shoulders and the band encircling the finger are adorned with delicately hand-engraved flowers, whose three-dimensional detailing impressively attests to the engraver’s skill. The vivid reliefs lend the piece of jewellery the depth and individuality that only hand-engraved works possess. At its center is a richly colored amethyst featuring an attractive combination of different cuts within a cushion-shaped base. The top is cut in a table cut, which showcases the stone’s rich violet color to great effect. The faceted underside captures the light and makes the amethyst glow from within, creating a beautiful sense of depth. More than a century after its creation, this ring still combines precision craftsmanship, artistic imagination, and the elegance of Art Nouveau. This exceptionally well-preserved piece of jewellery came to us from a Berlin family collection.
