A striking Art Deco era Egyptian Revival ring, crafted in 14K yellow gold, featuring a captivating honey-orange marquise (navette) cut citrine set within a vibrant frame of glossy cornflower blue, black, and coral orange enamel. The bezel-set citrine, with its warm, faceted glow, is beautifully complemented by a decorative plaque, meticulously painted to echo the rich hues of ancient Egyptian artistry.
The ring's shoulders and gallery showcase intricate leaf motifs and raised lotus flower designs in rose gold, adding depth and texture. The lotus flower—a symbol of creation, rebirth, and the sun in ancient Egypt—was a prominent motif during the Egyptian Revival period, inspired by the dramatic discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, which sparked a worldwide fascination with Egyptian art and symbolism.
While firmly rooted in ancient symbolism, this piece also reflects the clean lines and geometric precision typical of Art Deco design, blending the exotic with the modern for a truly timeless effect.
