The story: Very fashionable during the Second Empire, so-called daisy rings seduced by their delicacy and balance. Often given as a token of love or engagement, they reflected the romantic fashion of the nineteenth century, where circular compositions evoking purity and feminine elegance were appreciated. Popularized by Empress Eugenie and her taste for fine jewelry, they became emblematic pieces of jewelry of the time.
