A finely executed Art Nouveau gold ring dating to circa 1910; made in Germany in the Jugendstil taste and later retailed in Paris, bearing the French shell import hallmark for 14K gold.The ring is centred by a vivid natural peridot weighing approximately 3.5 carats, rub-over set within an elongated openwork plaque framed by flowing floral scrolls. Surrounding the principal stone are small bezel set rubies and delicate millegrain-set diamonds in platinum, creating a refined contrast of colour and texture typical of high-quality continental jewellery of the period.The design is quintessentially Art Nouveau; asymmetrical, organic, and inspired by botanical forms. The pierced gallery and scrolling floral motifs demonstrate the movement’s fascination with naturalism and fluid line, while the elongated oval form gives the jewel an elegant vertical presence on the hand. The bezel measures approximately 23 x 18mm, with the peridot itself measuring approximately 10 x 10 x 4mm. Ring size R (UK) / 8.75 (US). Weight: 5.36 grams.Peridot was particularly favoured during the Art Nouveau and Jugendstil periods for its luminous green tone, which harmonised perfectly with the era’s nature-inspired palette. The stone had long been associated with protection and vitality, historically referred to as the “gem of the sun”. The ancient Romans famously called peridot the “evening emerald” because its vivid colour remained bright even under candlelight; a quality especially admired in the Belle Époque salons and dining rooms of Europe. King Edward VII was also known to favour the gemstone, further contributing to its popularity in fashionable jewellery of the early 20th century.Condition is very good overall. The stones remain secure and the openwork mount is crisp and well preserved. An elegant and highly wearable antique Art Nouveau ring with excellent colour and strong period character.
