A pale blue window to another century, this aquamarine glows as if lit from within, its gentle shimmer heightened by the mirrored foil backing behind it. Around it curls a lacy frame of marcasite, their metallic sparkle playing like candlelight against silver. At top and bottom, two small aquamarines add their glinting voices, balancing the composition in true French style, ornamental yet restrained, romantic yet architectural.

Handcrafted in France around 1890, the ring is fashioned in 18 karat gold with a silver setting. The central aquamarine is closed-back, measuring 11.5 x 9.5 mm, with two additional aquamarines measuring 2.2 x 2.5 mm each. They are surrounded by 25 marcasites. French hallmarks include the boar’s head and eagle’s head, denoting the gold and silver. The ring measures 25 mm north to south, 19 mm across, and rises 7 mm off the finger. The band width is 2 mm, and it weighs 5.2 grams. Ring size is 6.5 US.

A jewel like this carries the romance of fin-de-siècle Paris; the quiet glamour of candlelit evenings and the allure of Belle Époque design. It is a ring to be treasured, both for its beauty and its history.
