Art Nouveau Man’s Signet Ring – Storks & Snakes!

Estate Jewelry: Gold: Art Nouveau Pre 1910: item #779066
RR05045

This wonderful ring makes me wish for big fingers! (It’s between size 9-1/4 and 9-1/2.) 10k gold with a layer of gold gilt, it has a very rich yellow color. It has no monogram, though the top shows some wear consistent with its age. On each side there is a stork amongst cattails, who has just caught a snake for dinner! We also think there might be a fairy hiding in there; on the far left, just below the snake, there is what looks like a little wing, and a hand reaching up under the stork’s chin....

Estate Jewelry: Gold: Art Nouveau Pre 1910: item #775429
RR06062

This extremely elegant yet simple ring has been attributed to Maurice Dufrene, one of the important designers of the Art Nouveau era. Dufrene really loved the ginko motif (see “The Paris Salons, 1895-1914, Jewelry I: The Designers A-K,” by Alastair Duncan), and this ring features one, as well as a pearl (either natural or cultured), in a very Nouveau setting. The stamp looks like it says “18k”. No other marks. It has been sized, and is a 6-1/4. Other than a line where the sizing was done, it is ... Click for details

18k Nouveau Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond Tulip Pin, Marks

Estate Jewelry: Gold: Art Nouveau Pre 1910: item #775308
RP08131

This sweet jewel is made from 18k yellow gold. I can’t tell whether the leaves are very finely enameled in a pale green, or if there is a layer of green gold. I believe the center stone to be a sapphire, and I tested the diamond. I’m not positive about the red stones, but given the quality of the rest of the piece it seems most likely that they are rubies (the settings make it difficult to tell). The brooch weighs 3.5 g and measures 1-3/16 x 7/8". It bears a maker’s mark on the pin stem and the ... Click for details
