This Art Nouveau emerald ring with old mine-cut diamonds is crafted in 18k yellow gold with platinum-topped mille grain accents weighs 3.6g and measures 19mm wide and 4mm deep. Epitomizing the sensual, fanciful and feminine art Nouveau jewelry style, this alluring ring of possibly French nasturalistic inspiration, exposes a translucent 0.42ct square cushion-cut emerald, graded an enchanting 'rich forest-green' color and 'good' clarity mounted within a square yellow gold frame, enhanced by a platinum mille grained rim. An exqusite florally-inspired cinquefoil assemblage of old mine-cut diamonds cumulatively weighing 0.62cts and graded J-K color and SI2 clarity, is designed as a bouquet of glowing collet buds. The delicate finely mille grained stems of graduated sizes crown the intriguing cushion-cut emerald, creating an absorbing and attention-seeking aesthetic grace. This Art Nouveau ring of outstanding finesse features a delicate yet well-constructed spherical band and a sizeable shank, bearing the official 18k gold stamp.

The Art Nouveau era and its influence spanned roughly thirty years, from 1890 to 1919, shocking the Victorians and Edwardians in forms of diverted self expressionism. This period was fanciful, sensual, playful and sensitive in its use of feminine flowing curvilinear lines and exquisite depiction of the female form. While seemingly unimportant to the Victorians and excessively emotional to the Edwardians, it appealed to a generation excited to celebrate the 'non-conformist' style of the day. The Art Nouveau movement made a lasting impression throughout the world and greatly influenced Western architecture, textiles, metalwork and interior design.
