Vintage Diamond Ring In Art Nouveau Shapes, Hungary Around 1980

The growth and development of plants was one of the most important sources of inspiration for Art Nouveau artists: in their search for a new art that would bring people, uprooted by industrialization and the big cities, back into harmony with themselves and their environment, they turned to natural forms and used them to create their very own, previously unseen designs. This ring pays homage to this style. Set with glittering diamonds, it depicts a blossom entwining itself on the finger. Rings in this style were created around 1900, particularly in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The present example was created later, albeit with remarkable attention to the stylistic features of its role models, such as the shape of the settings and the two-tone precious metal. Only a few details, such as the diamond cuts and the hallmark inside the ring band, indicate its later creation. The hallmark tells us that the ring was made in Hungary between 1967 and 1999. The ring has been wonderfully preserved since then. An elegant, fine piece of jewelry that proves that the floral forms of Art Nouveau have always found their admirers.
