The story: The gadroon is an ovoid ornamental motif originally used in architecture in mouldings. Very popular in decoration, especially on silver and porcelain vases and tableware, it has also been used in goldsmithing for centuries. It is particularly present in jewelry from the 40s and 50s, especially in rings and earrings.
