RESERVED- Art Nouveau Opal and Diamond Figural Ring of 14k Gold

A poetic and highly expressive Art Nouveau ring (circa 1910), featuring a finely modeled figural woman crafted in solid 14k gold, shown caressing a luminous opal and accompanied by a stylized gold tulip accented with a transitional cut diamond. The flowing lines, naturalistic symbolism, and feminine imagery are quintessential to the Art Nouveau movement, which celebrated beauty, emotion, and the harmony between humanity and nature.

The opal displays a soft, ethereal play of color, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the composition, while the diamond-set tulip introduces a subtle point of brilliance and symbolic reference to renewal and beauty. The sculptural goldwork demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship, with careful attention to form and movement.

The face of the ring measures approximately 0.4 inches from north to south and is currently a size 7 (resizable upon request for an additional charge). The gold has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with traditional jeweler’s acid testing, authenticating its 14k composition. In great antique condition, this ring is a rare and evocative example of early 20th-century Art Nouveau jewelry, ideal for collectors who appreciate figural design, symbolic motifs, and fine craftsmanship.
