    • A rare antique Art Nouveau figural statement ring. It was made circa 1890, in either France or Spain. The ring is crafted in silver and features three nude and outstretched figures in an erotic scene.

      A parallel of this ring can be found in the British Museum (no. 1949,1202.1). Although it has not been attributed to a specific maker, similar designs found by François-Rupert Carabin (1862 - 1932) can be seen in the Musée d’Orsay (inv. no RF MO OAO 2023 6)

      This highly sought after piece is a typical example of the type of jewellery on display at the 1900 Paris ‘Exposition Universelle’. The world witnessed a grand display of Art Nouveau jewels, objects and architecture which took natural objects and turned them into expressions of abstract ideas - beauty, the eternal and the feminine.

      UK size P, US size 7.5

      The sculptural ring weighs 10 grams on the dot, and is unmarked but tests as high-grade silver. The band measures approximately 8mm across.
