garnet

A striking antique Russian Art Nouveau ring, circa 1900s, embodying the movement’s fascination with nature, flowing lines, and organic forms. The graceful Giardinetti-style floral bouquet is composed of natural rubies, sapphires, an old-cut diamond, and bead-set Russian Ural demantoid garnets, a gemstone particularly prized in late-19th and early-20th-century Russian jewellery.

The design reflects the defining characteristics of Art Nouveau jewellery, with its fluid, asymmetrical curves, botanical inspiration, and emphasis on the natural beauty of gemstones rather than rigid geometric structure. The flowers and foliage appear to flow organically across the setting, creating a sense of movement and delicacy.

Finely crafted in 14k rose-pink gold, a distinctive Russian gold alloy with a warm hue beautifully positioned between modern rose gold and yellow gold. Dainty and feminine, the ring has the enchanting quality of a flowering bouquet captured in gold, bringing together the romanticism and natural elegance that made Art Nouveau jewellery so distinctive.
