16th-Century 20ct Gold Foliate Engraved Ring | Antique Leaf Band | UK I½ / US 4.5

A delicate circle of leaves, softly catching the light. This 20ct gold ring is attributed to the 16th century, according to information provided by the antique dealer from whom it was acquired. Its slender band is decorated with a continuous sequence of curling, fan-like leaves, flowing gently around the finger. The foliate decoration is beautifully defined, with soft, sweeping lines. Finely textured surfaces contrast with brighter engraved facets, revealing subtle changes in lustre as the ring turns. The edges follow the contours of the leaves, creating a gently scalloped outline. Lovely worn alone to appreciate its detail, or thoughtfully paired with other rings. Its thin construction calls for gentle, occasional wear and careful handling.
