Antique Art Nouveau 14K & 10K Conversion Ring

Art Nouveau is an ornamental style of art that flourished between about 1890 and 1910 throughout Europe and the United States. Art Nouveau is characterized by its use of a long, sinuous, organic line and was employed most often in architecture, interior design, jewelry, and glass design. It was a deliberate attempt to create a new style, free of the style that dominated much of 19th-century art and design. Even today it projects a sense of new beginnings and new freedom in style and fashion. Converted from an antique cufflink, this lovely Art Nouveau ring depicts a beautiful woman in profile with a full-blown poppy in her flowing hair, a motif indicative of the styles of the time. We have paired it with an antique replica shank. Beautifully and poetically crafted, this is one muse you'll love to have in your collection!
