Nouveau Platinum Filigree & Diamond Cocktail Ring

This exquisite platinum filigree and diamond ring was crafted at the end of the Nouveau era, just before the Art Deco movement took hold. It showcases subtle influences from both styles; the overall shape of the ring possesses some Deco elements, as do the European-cut diamonds and the intricate filigree work. However, the bezel setting, curved lines, and graceful profile on the hand are classic Nouveau features, making this a stunning and unique piece.

The ring features a half-carat old European-cut diamond of excellent quality, set in a bezel at the center, and surrounded by intricate wire filigree and additional diamonds that sparkle beautifully. Due to the softer nature of platinum, the ring has experienced some wear in certain areas, which was likely restored at some point in its history. The shank has been replaced with a thicker 14k white gold, and while the overall profile is slightly skewed, these alterations are not noticeable when worn or without close inspection. 

We have thoroughly cleaned and inspected this ring, ensuring it is ready for another 100 years of wear for the lucky lady who gets to adorn her hand with it!
