Belle Époque Rock Crystal & Pearl Oyster Shell Ring

$1,750.00

Description

DATE: Belle Époque, c.1910

This dreamy Belle Époque ring is modelled as an oyster shell, dating to circa 1910. The shell itself is modelled from a carved piece of rock crystal, with fine line details placing the pearl at the centre of attention. The "shell" is bordered with fine platinum millegrain details, creating that dainty and pretty effect, typically Belle Époque in style. The band is slim, modelled in 18k yellow gold, and it rests beautifully against the finger. Perhaps this ring is a reference to the "Birth of Venus", representing fertility, beauty and love.
