Description: About this Piece Size: 6Length: 3/4” Width: Just over 3/8”, crystals are 1mmMaterial: Sterling silver vermeil, natural onyx and crystal Weight: 4.3 grams Mark: Yes, marked silver on the inside of the bandEra: Art Nouveau Why You’ll Love ItA bold showstopper. With its generously sized silhouette, this Art Nouveau ring dons an intriguing question-mark design that just can’t be ignored. A motif that turns up from time to time from the era perhaps associated with the ephemeral or quixotic nature that Art Nouveau jewelry is known for. The deep black hue of natural onyx contrasts strikingly with the vivid yellow-gold hue of the vermeil and sterling silver setting. For a final flourish, the question mark is inset with natural quartz, adding a refined touch to this unique shimmering stunner. Condition and Quality ● Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. No dents. Minor wear to vermeil finish. ● Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the natural onyx. One crystal has a crack which is noticeable with a loupe.● Secure, original band. Collector Note On the Art Nouveau Movement. Design motifs of the Art Nouveau movement from the early 20th century are all about stylized, curving and flowing lines found in nature. Though occurring at a similar time as the Arts and Crafts movement and sharing some design sensibilities, the Art Nouveau was far more whimsical and lighthearted. Popular figural motifs included fairies, flowers, and the "Art Nouveau lady" (a highly feminine woman generally depicted with flowing and flowered hair). On Uncommon Pieces. Uncommon antique and vintage pieces are often highly collectible because you are not likely to find another one. While some uncommon pieces have garnered a cult following, others are so uncommon that they do not have a large fanbase. The latter type may not be considered collectibles, but they are lovely, one-of-a-kind finds. _gsrx_vers_1608 (GS 9.5 (1608))
