Created during the Art Nouveau period in Paris, this sapphire and enamel ring is mounted in 18K gold. The elongated bomb?? form ring centers a line of round, oval and cushion-shaped sapphires flanked by chased overlapping lotus blossoms on long stems highlighted by blue champlev?? enamel. Light and sculptural, this strikingly original design combines expressive naturalism with a proto-modern inclination to abstraction.
