15K Gold Early Victorian Flower Ring with Pearl and Ruby

About the Item

Here at Kirsten’s Corner, we have a sweet spot for these early Victorian flower rings. Circa the 1840’s, this 15k gold ring is reminiscent of a Forget-Me-Not flower, a popular motif in the Victorian era. A cluster of pearls comprise the face of the ring, with the six largest pearls making up the petals of a flower. A beautiful ruby adds pop of color, collet set in the center of the flower, while the ring is flanked by two more rubies on either side. Along the sides of the ring is a scrolling foliate, hand detailed to look like leaves. Elegant milgrain work, along with the hand engraved gold and collet settings, give this ring a lovely femininity.  The pearl flower petals in the ring represent tears and was commonly used in mourning jewelry. On the interior of the band, there is an indentation behind the face of the ring that holds a panel of woven hair--adding to the romance and mystery of this special piece of jewelry. There was most likely a pane of glass that originally covered the panel of hair, but it has been lost over time.  The ring contains three natural antique rubies and 12 natural antique pearls. The face of the ring is 3/8” wide. The ring weighs 2.49 grams. Unmarked, but acid tests as 15k.  Ring size 5.5 Rings like these are becoming harder and harder to find. This piece conveys sentimentality and everlasting love.

15k Gold Art Nouveau Plique-à-jour Diamond and Pearl Necklace
By Mappin Brothers
Located in Venice, CA
A classic Art Nouveau design, this 15k rose gold necklace features stunning plique-à-jour, Rose Cut diamonds, and beautiful pearls. The centerpiece of the necklace is articulated, hinged in two places so that the flower and pearl drops dangle freely. Three plique-à-jour leaves are translucent—the loveliest matte soft green that fades into subtle purple highlights, clearly done by a master. Each cell of the leaf is filled with plique, with a white metal (platinum or white gold) creating contrast in the center of the leaf. Inside are a channel of bead set Rose Cut diamonds. A flower is suspended from the leaves, with multi-tones of peach to pale yellow that glow against the gold, with a prong-set diamond as its piston. The design work loops over, turning the bail into a scrolling foliate. The 15k gold appears rosy, as it has an incredible patina that shimmers with various hues of pink, gold, and green. “Plique-à-jour” translates from French as “letting in daylight” and is a charming technique used in jewelry throughout the 20th century. To create this effect, colored, transparent enamel is suspended between gold backless cells to allow light to illuminate the piece with vibrant colors, similar to a stained glass window. The flower hangs from a 15k gold classic alternating link chain...
