About the piece
An intricate French Art Nouveau toi et moi ring with two flower shaped details, each centred with a faux pearl. Set in a north-south arrangement at the centre of the piece, the flowers are framed with graduated gold bead detailing along the shoulders, creating a lovely flow through the design. Small leaf-like details in green gold add another layer of colour and interest to the warm rose gold. Green gold is a sought after and identifiable characteristic of French Art Nouveau jewellery. The combination of floral forms, mixed gold colours and fine detailing gives this ring a wonderfully distinctive Art Nouveau feel. A lovely choice for someone drawn to unusual antique designs with plenty of detail and character.
