This unique piece had a previous life in France
The story: This 18-carat gold ring illustrates the refinement of French jewelry in the nineteenth century, particularly during the Second Empire (1852-1870). The subtle combination of fine pearls and turquoise pearls reflects an aesthetic that was highly prized at that time, when Empress Eugenie, a true fashion icon, set the trend for colorful and delicate jewelry. Turquoise, a symbol of protection and eternity, blended wonderfully with the pearly shine of pearls, evoking purity and femininity. Offered as a token of affection or worn as sentimental jewelry, these refined ornaments reflected the taste and elegance of a society in search of romanticism and distinction.
